I think we need to take it seriously that there are systemic problems here. We are allowing a system to develop with a few big winners, a lot of losers and little or no middle class. I believe Marxists see this as the inevitable endgame of capitalism... by rewarding hoarded capital, there is no possible conclusion except the centralization of wealth to enormous levels of disparity. Even for those of us who travel across boundaries, in some parts of the world I personally feel ridiculously wealthy (which objectively I am) whereas I can't afford to raise my kids in the manner and environment in which I myself was raised (which was not considered particularly wealthy at the time). Politics seems to have failed us on most fronts, and the big problems are really international and therefore beyond the scope and reign of political animals, even naively assuming they cannot be bought out or sidestepped. Perhaps then, fundamentally as individuals we can only analyze the net effects of our actions and try to contribute to positive change instead of perpetuating a self-serving culture. More snarkily, "Oh, you can't make a good living producing content on the internet with $1000s of dollars of e-toys?" ... this is perhaps something of a first world problem, where others are still down the bottom of Maslow's Hierarchy.
