This post reminds me of my leadership at a former employer who were insisting on releasing a game console that requires customers to download all content and games, regardless of the fact that unlike gigabit internet offered in our city, many Americans don’t have access to or cannot afford broadband. That leadership team only hanged course because the negative perception spread like wildfire and made them look extremely incompetent. They didn’t care about the customer - they only even changed course to manage their own careers but I digress. In some cases, these people are lords abusing powerless peasants. Most of America isn’t Seattle, Austin, NYC, or the Silicon Valley. People can work for WalMart in the town I grew up in or go unemployed because WalMart swallowed competition. They’re literally at the mercy of whatever WalMart wants to pay them. Our poor have emergency healthcare but will get bankrupted in the process. They have safe food insofar as they won’t die of typhoid or hepatitis like in the developing world, but they don’t have healthy food. They have access to various forms of packaged, refined sugars. A diet based on cheap access to these goods will only lead to longer term health problems - there’s scientific data backing that claim. Interesting how you frame your argument - that the poor aren’t as horribly off as perhaps in another century or in the developing world, and so it’s good enough. The same argument can and should be used to call out the endless greed, especially of the 0.1%. Don’t have they have enough? Are they they some of the richest folks in human history?
