Just to be clear: My main point of sharing this article is about how detached the life of rich people is.
I do not at all agree that most of them are “Not evil, just disconnected”, I am pretty sure (and know some of the privileged), who are actively evil, know exactly what they are doing and just don’t give a shit.
The helicopters and personal assistants and private jets and staffed mansions aren’t the problem. With all of those, money is moving from the rich person to pilots, crew, maintenance staff, laborers, builders. Workers are making a living, earning paychecks from all these expenditures. Their lavish lifestyles are not the problem.
The problem is their stock portfolios. They aren’t converting their wealth into worker paychecks. They are leveraging their wealth to take more and more wealth from workers throughout the economy.
