We can go into the debate of how much inequality is healthy for a society to encourage innovation and hard work. However in many parts of the world and even U.S. I would say many talented and intelligent people didn't even get the chan

Yes. But no one is poor if everyone is poor. Poverty is a relative term. It's basically inequality in disguise.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me friend. I didn’t link any video with police. I know which video you were talking about but it’s not in my previous posts. Regarding nonviolent, it’s great you read about umbrella revolution and occup
