    Dang, I was just thinking about how my mom got a raise years ago when I was still a kid and it practically changed our life. All of a sudden we were eating out more. All of a sudden we had nicer things. All of a sudden my mom wasn’t stressed anymore.

    It’s sad to see how people are now experiencing the opposite of that. It’s sad they’re experiencing that when, in absolute terms, we are more productive than ever.

    Greed really is the worst thing we face as a species in the modern age. It’s a shame so many people are gung-ho about supporting it.

    The disparity in wealth needs to shrink instead of grow. Otherwise, these problems will only get worse over time.
