I wouldn’t necessarily say the first thing is good. Those profits are partially the result of non-competitive behavior everyone would be better off if they were much smaller. But, indeed, the title is there to be provocative.

Indeed, the media (primarily progressive) keeps tying those two together - wealth/prosperity is not a zero sum game.

I can understand why the narrative is appealing because it indicates extreme polarization - not left/right but top/bottom. Increasing income inequality is a concern and these headlines help with the message.
