Why restrict to industry? Do you see the global poor as ants?
- Eisenstein 3y agoThat analogy doesn't hold. The reason they see those below them as ants is because there are so few like them. If there are only 2,640 billionaires in the entire world then that is very different from being middle class. Billionaires never have to take a commercial flight and never have to wait in line, and never have to wait for table, etc.
- endisneigh 3y agoThere are literally millions of millionaires in America. Millionaires who always have fresh water, food, electricity, a home they own, etc. So what?
- r00fus 3y agoThere is a quantitative lifestyle difference between a millionaire and a billionaire. And between someone who is compelled to work for a living vs. someone who can subsist at the highest lifestyle on passive income alone.
