That would only happen if people thought the disparity in wealth should shrink instead of grow.

@LWD @L4s Ha ha ha. No.
It means people get to starve in poverty because society has simultaneously decided that if you are t already rich then you must work as a moral imperative, but there is no work, and so while starving in poverty is unavoidable, you deserve it anyway.
Because we live in a fucking dystopia.

Cops that obey the rules and don’t shoot random people or pets would be a huge step up for most of the US, so I don’t see the problem.
