So now on hackernews the mere act of earning more money than someone else is a sin, especially when it's done by workers creating an entirely new market of products and services that we couldn't have imagined a mere 5 years ago. I would love to unsubscribe from this particular strain of brainrot that has infested midwit discourse, but it seems to be everywhere.

(Take with a pinch of salt, I don't know economics or social science.) It seems that even though economic growth raises all ships, just some more than others, inequality causes social unrest even if they were in a better position than before (e.g. having access to new innovations and a higher standard of living).
