Inequality is never fun for those who believe that they are entitled to more than others. Regardless - impenetrable housing markets are not a consequence of equality, so you are kind of self contradicting.

>Inequality is never fun for those who believe that they are entitled to more than others. Do you believe people who work harder or do things that others are unwilling/unable to do are not entitled to more than others?

  Yes, but that is not what you mean when you say it like this. If you really stood behind this, then you would believe that the cleaning personnel who wakes up at ungodly hours take make sure areas are clean should be amongst the highest earners. Academics in particular are not really aligned with what it means to work. Edit: academic work is high risk, high reward. But procrastinating for weeks upon weeks to write a paper last minute is IMHO not hard work - though it can be valuable work.

    I believe most academics are mostly kidding themselves on how hard they think they actually work. Haha. But I mean if you enjoy your job who cares how much you want to do it?

  "Entitled" is not the same as "earned".

  The problem is do people work at all. Finland has had structural unemployment problem for decades, and second highest unemployment in Europe. The cost of this is high for the working members of society. https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/27738-most-jobless-in-finland-now-structurally-unemployed-eva-warns.html https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/2...

> Inequality is never fun for those who believe that they are entitled to more than others. Inequality is practical for those at the top/those that embody the reality of being entitled to more than others. More people to profit from like e.g. renting out apartments, more unemployed people means higher competition from jobs which can suppress wages, and so on. We can all make quips.
