    There are a lot of people who don’t have these issues, but the number of them is shrinking. Additionally, as long as people have food and entertainment, they’ll continue to let things go until one of the two gets taken away. The gulf between the rich (talking the top 400 people) and the middle-class and below is so ridiculously huge that your brain can’t handle it. It’s too big. The average person’s life savings is like an ant sitting at the base of Mount Everest when compared to the combined wealth of the richest 400 people.

    Can you imagine the size of an ant compared to the size of Mount Everest? Neither can I. I know it’s tiny, but I can’t imagine it accurately. The ant is always much larger than it should be.
