  Nah. Magnitude matters, and the resources wasted doing this could have a legitimate impact.

  This is the “don’t be depressed, starving children in Africa have it worse” kind of argument. Please don’t.

  No it’s not, and you’re resorting to analogies because you can’t argue against the topic at hand. Please try to stay on topic.

    I think the richer shouldn’t be buying the dress so I get you there. But I read the comment about the technology being created in the first place. Advancements are going to come regardless. Yeah there is suffering but not much we can do on people creating new things

      I think it’s important what that technology is and priorities should matter.

      Right now people prioritize whatever makes rich people richer faster, hence “we’re passing a bunch of money around at the top.”

      Lots of people who contribute to the problem don’t want to admit it, though.

    This is such a SJW argument. What are you doing to help any of those people? Adobe does charitable giving and employee matching for donations/volunteered time for up to 10k/month per employee. last year Adobe gave over 6 million dollars to various charities as a result of this program. They’re only able to do that if they are making money and innovating.

    I’m not saying Adobe is a great company or anything, but they have done and are doing more to help disadvantaged people that you’ll likely ever be able to accomplish, and their ability to do that is dependent on their business being successful.

    Is this a waste of resources? Perhaps, but they aren’t responsible for solving the world’s issues, any they are contributing. What have you done? From what I understand, you could contribute more to the people you’re describing by applying and working for Adobe rather than criticizing them.

      For one, not argue against them like you’re doing right now. Like it or not, I can’t solve these problems myself. Discussion and sharing of ideas is necessary to put solutions into action and change culture.

      Sorry that needs to be spelled out for you, but you’re clearly someone who thinks wealth should never be criticized.

      Gonna block you now. Goodbye.

        Running away because I struck a little too close to home?
