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

It's often a matter of life and death there too sadly. I've seen people ration insulin, have to decide whether they want food or heat for their children. Meanwhile others have fortunes that can't be exhausted in many lifetimes. That doesn't seem fine to me.

in the past, there wouldn't have been any insulin to ration. Those children would already be dead.

That doesn't change much. Obviously the quality of life is gonna change with technological advancements but even before we get to the literal homeless we have people doing wild shit like rationing insulin, or starving themselves so their kids can eat

I straight up cant fit "poor life" in a couple hundred characters but I'm damn sure kings lived like kings. I'm not living like a king just because I have a cellphone and internet access. I could fuck up one good time and have less than nothing.
