And so many people in the US are already miserable before yet another round of "become more efficient and productive for essentially the same pay or less as before!!"

So maybe income equality + disposable material goods is not a good path towards people being happier and better off.

It's our job to build a system that will work well for ourselves. If there's a point where incentivizing a few to hoard even more resources to themselves starts to break down in terms of overall quality of life, we have a responsibility to each other to change the system.

Look at how many miserable-ass unhappy toxic asshole billionaires there are. We'll be helping their own mental health too.
