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

So your bar for a fine/fair society is anything above absolute squalor and a really early death, despite there being solutions available?

I'm not saying it's fine or fair, I'm saying that *inequality itself is not bad*. The idea of "Wherever we are, we can do better!" is great. But we seem to totally lack gratitude for how far we've come and that our children literally don't die from smallpox anymore.
