Inequality in itself seems mostly fine to me? Like, the poorest people today live lives with access to better stuff than literally kings of the past. That is fucking incredible. But add in people doing better than us and we quickly get not okay

Your original claim implies that this should make us not concerned about the the well-being of the poorest 10% today, though. Which I think is untrue — there are still tons of real injustices (prison system etc) that afflict those people. Which is what “inequality” talk targets.

I definitely don't mean that we should be unconcerned about the wellbeing of the poorest 10% or anybody. I just mean that *inequality in itself does not seem inherently bad*.
