I'm afraid of these socialist trends and statements.
Hopefully, there will not be any new "revolution" where 'low-income' will vote for some populist who will make everyone "equal".
And by "everyone" they normally mean middle/upper middle class because ultra-wealthy people operate in a bit different world than the rest of people.
AND:
Can't low earners take those high-earners who work remotely (programmers, for example) as an example and follow their path rather than complain about inequality? I had a mate who was a good example for me at some point which allowed me to progress in life. What would happen if i metaphorically i asked the government to get part of his salary to help me to be "equal"? Is this discovered life path not a valuable resource and example?
- shlom22 6y agoThe West will go full communism, and it will make life better for all of us - no more rent, work or paying for groceries and everything will be taken care of so we can be creative in our time
- go13 6y agowell.. wealth owners probably would lobby that not to happen, but surprisingly to me that is happening already contrary to any common sense.
- shlom22 6y agoThey will be made to sign it eventually by the people. Then we can all be a whole world as a country, one vision and full equality of resources and thoughts, and it will be beautiful
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoIf you think that the groceries are going to continue to show up on shelves in a world where nobody has to work, reality is going to hand you a very nasty surprise. If we're going to give stuff to everybody, somebody has to make the stuff. Merely redistributing money isn't going to solve that problem.
- go13 6y agoi thought it was sarcasm, but apparently, based on downvotes, HN is full of left-leaning comrades.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoIt could have been sarcasm. In fact, I hope it was. And it wouldn't be the first sarcasm that I've missed today...
- non-entity 6y agoYes the incredibly libertarian leaning, created by a VC, site is full of leftists.
- go13 6y agoexactly, this is what surprises me! :)
- kansface 6y agoI can't tell if this is sarcasm or not!?
- s1artibartfast 6y agoI assume it is trolling
- dang 6y agoCan you please not create accounts to break the HN guidelines with? It eventually gets your main account banned as well. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
