Two stories I saw on the news today keep proving to me how global greed in the hands of the few are counter productive to the stability of the planet.
NOW mind you, I am not unrealistic, differences in pay and class will happen regardless. But I think global greed worldwide is hurting our planet and things like the following just astound me that the people who can afford these things just buy them to show off.
An auction for a really huge diamond went for $30,000,000 dollars.
A billionaire has a penthouse at the top of a skyscraper priced at $95,000,000 dollars.
Our planet has 62 billionaire families whom have the combined wealth of half the world's population. THIS CANT CONTINUE, it is counter productive.
Nobody should expect the private sector to go away. Nobody is expecting a fry cook to make the same as a CEO, but the gap is outrageous and long term hurts worker stability. The top will not survive itself if all it does is make everything about a competition between the top. Our species globally needs to have mindset of the private sector be about problem solving and providing stability, not base it's growth on short term exploitation.
Wealth will happen so nobody should expect that to change. But the top earners in the world do not understand to a great enough degree, that short term gains do not constitute long term global stability.
