@ApostateEnglishman@mastodon.world If everyone is poor, nobody is poor. You can only be poor compared to those who are rich. So, he's saying, "either we have rich people or we don't." We've tried having rich people for a long time. How about if we try the other way for a while?

@hoco@sfba.social Indeed. I'm fast approaching 50 years old and still can't fathom why having enough to meet your basic needs, with a comfortable amount left over to fund leisure time, a bit of travel and some hobbies that aren't necessarily profitable, isn't enough for some folks. It's even more incomprehensible to me that having more than it's possible to spend in a lifetime, still isn't enough for some. I don't want to understand either. All I need to know is that these men are destroying the world.
