I'm angry that there is still poverty in the world. We have the resources to end poverty but society just chooses not to. People like Musk are allowed to hoard money like dragons. Musk and a few other people have more money than they can POSSIBLY use while people are needlessly starving. He could give away millions and still be obscenely wealthy with more money than he can use. Countries could save money by implementing universal basic income but people are stuck on this notion that people won't work unless they're under threat of starvation and that people shouldn't have their basic needs unless they earn them. Capitalist society is set up with the notion that people need to earn the right to live, making those who aren't earning money feel worthless while millionaires are allowed to live without contributing much to society.
