Except people having it easier due to progress comes at the cost of nobody, while billionaires having it good comes at great cost to everybody but them.
Yea for sure, but the cost-benefit is usually (hopefully) pretty skewed. Like even redistributing wealth from billionaires comes at a ‘cost’ to the billionaires, but the downside is their bank account number is smaller (which, who cares).
I know you’re not disagreeing btw, just adding to the discussion.
