    Agreed. Cost of living and wealth inequality are getting so bad it’s breaking society. We see it everywhere and it’s weird to prioritize non economic explanations.

    Although hetero dating is just total bs, speaking as a queer gal. All that old cruft is rotten and it’s gotta go

      Yet again Capitalism is the issue

      Is there any problem that wouldn’t be fixed with wealth redistribution?

        The inequitable amount of influence the 1% gets from owning the means of production. Given time this will erode whatever wealth distribution scheme you have in place.

        See the minimum wage for an example.

          Nah if the total wealth of everyone is forced to be equal then their power is equal.

          Assets are wealth.

          The CEO or board wouldn’t own anything more of the workplace than their janitors do.
