I really don't understand why society tolerates, let alone promotes and idolizes, billionaires, while median net worth remains below $200,000, and probably much lower in most of the rest of the world. I don't think everyone should be forced to be exactly equal but the current disparity between median and Elon is more than 6 orders of magnitude, depending on the day of the week, and even to your average barely a billionaire it is more than 3 orders of magnitude. It's excessive, and looking at how society is going, fairly clearly unhealthy for everyone involved. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Napster153@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago Children of the near future will have more in common with the generation before and directly participating in a World War then they do with the generation after a World War. permalink fedilink source parent [–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago But older people still trust surveys.
