6 Y.O. “Realizes Something Isn’t Adding Up” With Great-Grandparents Living Wealthy On Ordinary Jobs
One of the hottest threads on Reddit, Inc. these days is how even a six year old can see something's seriously wrong with the economy.
The Bored Panda article on this topic is brilliant - "The problem is still the same—the US housing market is so overrun by corporations and money-grabbing investors that it just keeps inflating the prices beyond what regular Joe-Shmoes can afford. ... The discussion continued in length, reaching 3,000 comments.The post itself got over 37,500 upvotes with an 87% positivity rating and a single Reddit award."
I was going to write about the SAG-AFTRA strike today but then I realized this Reddit thread is the same topic. The writers and actors are tired of the big bosses making millions and millions when many people in the business have a hard time making ends meet.
What's This Really About?
There's a massive gap between the wealth being accumulated by the super-rich, and what employees and customers receive.
Customers keep paying more for less and for lower quality merchandise that doesn't last very long.
The current egoistic system is totally legit - we all agreed to it. No one forced us to agree to it. The principles that our economy rure are rotten and outdated.
How can a business accumulate millions and be super-successful? Invest some of it back into your employees. Spend it on keeping your customers and employees happy.
The current method we all agreed to is egoistic. The poor communication, is due to a lack of connection between us.
No one feels responsible for others.
In a mutually supportive environment that we only see glimpses of here and there, I wouldn't allow myself to behave this way.
