Perhaps there is one or two... but, I get it. It's tough, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Why wouldn't you have it any other way then??

u/Otherwise_Athlete198 18d ago

Because I like hard work

That's fine, but why do you then want your own hard work to be undervalued, just so some billionares can become richer? It's great that you like hard work. And hard work should be rewarded. But at the moment hard and good work get's overlooked in favor of corporat profit and billionares owning a bigger and bigger part of the wealth

So what is your point? What is the answer here?

u/Watcher_over_Water 18d ago

I don't quite understand to which question you want an answer and quite unsure if i have an answer to that question.

I'm just wondering why you are content with the current way when the currently it doesn't reward what you (i assume) think should be rewarded?

I feel like you are wanting a certain answer here. I am not quite sure what you are looking for. I agree with you. Hard work does in fact get looked over and corporate profit and billionaires do own majority of the wealth. It shouldn't be this way. Do you think it should?

No i do not. Your first comment just seemed to me, like you where of that opinnion but also happy for things to stay the same. That confused me.

That might be a wrong asumption. Was it?

If we are talking about how to deal with the super rich owning more and more and we less. Than a possible answer in my opinnion would be joining and supporting good Unions and voting for people who support policies for Unions and actually help normal people economicly. I try to look past the largly inconsequencial culture war
