This is why ending poverty should be the number 1 priority of our society. It puts *everyone* in a better situation to collectively solve other problems.

I'm inclined to agree. Are you aware of the Poor People's Campaign? https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/

My sense is that it'll take action on the part of people who aren't activists to really shake things up, but the PPC seems like a start.

This is an issue I care deeply about, thanks for the link. I just donated.

Having said that...from their homepage: "The poo is immoral"

It should be the number 1 priority, but at the same there have been multiple studies that show poor people are more likely to be altruistic than rich people.

Which is why the goal isn't to make everyone rich. It's to end poverty. Those aren't the same thing, exactly. Think like, Star Trek. They have ended poverty, but it's not by making everyone wealthy.
