Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society? - eviltoast

While it’s very unlikely that someone has a definitive answer, this question popped into my head after the assassination of the UHC CEO and it’s been bothering me that I can’t shake off this feeling that more is likely to happen (maybe not in higher frequency but potential).

Usually I could provide counter-arguments to myself in a realism/(should I buy apples or oranges comparison) kind-of sense but this one I feel more unsure about.

I wish I had more diverse exp in systems analysis as these kinds of questions that linger in my head really irritates my OCD brain as I just want to know what’s the most likely answer.

        Yeaaaah that upward mobility isn’t a feature of the system, it’s a bug, and they’re working on patching it constantly.

        It’s never been easier to be a billionaire. It’s never been harder to be a millionaire.

          It is actually very very easy to be a millionaire, especially a USD millionaire, these days. Once again, wealth is not money. And here in London we have plenty of low paid people like nurses who are millionaires on paper. Simply because they bought their house 30+ years ago and now median average house price in London is above £700k, which makes you a fucking dollar millionaire even if you’re living wage to wage.
