every conversation about poverty HAS to include a conversation about wealth
or NOTHING will change
And also lobbying, loopholes, subliminal and overt corruption.
Poor and rich have always been around. It's the horrific disparity gap that keeps increasing, that's becoming an issue, imo. The gap of such magnitude is not only immoral, but also socially destabilizing, at some point.
@artemis totally agree
most people just wanna talk about one or the other not ALL aspects of poverty which includes exactly what you said
yes there will always be poor and rich but that gap is getting so far now it's sickening
coincidentally, I ran across these pics below a few days ago. Amusing initially, I grew more and more disgusted with the pics, realizing the greed, the gap, the absurdity.
I do not talk about ethnicity here in these pics. Nor politics. Strictly richness beyond decency. How much sufferance could be alleviated with the $$ spent on absurd, narrow-minded, narcissistic egos.
@ecksmc
Yes. Exactly that state of mind- of having the $ and not knowing what else to do- that's exactly what i find infuriating. The multiple worlds we live in and the disregard these folks have for everyone else.
