One of the worst things about extreme income inequality is how many people don’t see enough of other people’s circumstances. It’s too easy to dissociate from the reality of someone else’s life if you never see them and never know them. Empathy decreases and numbness takes over.

The capitalists have no empathy for workers regardless. And we have no empathy for them. This is class war.

Truth. But you can use that analogy in many ways. Radial, religious etc. Hell, rural white America felt ignored for decades, and largely they were because those of us on big cities never really saw their struggles. That's how something like Trump even came to be.

Yeah. The bubble gets more intense on both sides.

A “wealth” tax that many on the left propose needs to be put into affect and those who make many millions like Bezos, Hollywood, Athletes, Big Tech heads, Corp head and some of your colleagues who are crooked career politicians like Biden need to pay 60-70% in taxes. Let’s see!

History shows some of the worst things of extreme income inequality is civil unrest (including civil wars), extreme violence, AND pandemics. 😢

There’s a way to battle income equality, it’s called capitalism. Through communism, you’re only going to make what they let you make. In socialism, you’re only gonna keep what they let you keep. In capitalism, You control what you make and spend.
