Most society’s problems derive from the massive inequality in the distribution of basic needs, like education, housing, food and the dignity of being able to control the means of how we spend our time day to day when our basic needs have been met and we feel like we can contribute to the society in a way we find meaningful.
But yeah, blame sick, poor and exhausted people…

I hear what you’re saying. I didn’t put any examples mainly to see how people would interpret what I said in their own way. That said, I think that the overpaid (CEOs, presidents, regional managers) hold the (including their own) lowest paid workers to higher standards than themselves, but they potentially don’t even know it. “I pulled myself up by my bootstraps, and so can you.” Failing to think that maybe these workers are in a cycle of poverty, and that these “bootstraps” were actually comprised of their parents fully funding their college education and then daddy’s friends getting them their first job.
