Yes, it’s the toxic greed
of the very richest that
is devouring & despoiling
the planets dwindling resources.
And they think it’s actually
the opposite! 🤔
Hi David, I wonder if they actually care for any Other outside of their self-interest. Some people are vampiric psychopaths, they don’t see anything wrong with taking. They think that’s Alpha. But I think also meekness is a problem. We sheepishly consume and keep their bank accounts full with debts to them 🤔
Yes, consumer debt makes the rich
even richer. Apparently a Professor
of Finance in the U. S. actually
came up with the idea, back in the
pre-credit card ’80’s. And of course
the Wall Street banks jumped on the
idea. Now we have pay day lenders
advertising their usury on TV.
Their was some interesting research
done by sociologist cncluding that
the rich generally feel that they have
no need of normal social support
system, such as friends & family,
as they have the money. Therefore,
no requirement to be nice, and
generous. In fact the more money,
the less need for other people.
That makes sense, no wonder the lack of empathy. Some of the richest seem the most miserly, profit over people and the environment. Inherited wealth and status, never earned.
Beautiful haiku!
