    Just like global warming, the consequences for funneling as much money to as few people as possible will not be immediately apparent.

    Aviation, military, infrastructure, medicine, agriculture, all of it is going to get worse in subtle ways before we notice how broken they’ve become. People just can’t be expected to care when they’re not being compensated accordingly. The more people who realize that ‘work’ isn’t about supporting society, it’s about serving the ruling class, the more people will slack off because they don’t actually care about the work being done.

    Quality is down. Prices are up.

    These problems will continue to get worse as long as the disparity in wealth continues to grow.
