  • It’s actually insane knowing that so many people on this planet live in extreme poverty, in slums, have no safe access to food and water and yet we have many single humans buying 15 cars, villas worth 15 million, yachts etc.

    At this point I shouldn’t take me out of the equation because even though I am not rich I still buy useless stuff I might not need and someone else needs the money more than I do.

    But I just can’t wrap my head around that a lot of individuals have so much money. No human should have 10x more than an average person needs. What justifies someone making albums and selling them for 15$ and that person earns 20 million $ cause so many people buy the album for 15$. At some point the money should flow to programs or other things that benefit society.

    Sure the album is great, thats why it is selling, but why a nurse for example is doing hard work and just will never earn that money. I’m pretty sure most nurses have done a lot more things during their career that SHOULD be worth millions. But thats not the point. Even nurses shouldn’t have more than 10x what they need. No one needs it. It’s great to have but no one needs it.



  • I don’t think that will prevent obese people from being obese since they are mostly the rich people. The only thing that could help against obesity is better healthcare education and not increasing the price of sugar and food that has high amounts of sugar in it.

    Atleast that is my opinion but it might be worth a try.

    Edit: My bad I didn’t read the article. It says climate crisis is increasing price for sugar around the world. Not something I personally care about because I don’t eat a lot of sugar but this still might help against obesity. Allthough I don’t think rich (fat) people will care enough and just buy the food anyways since price isn’t the problem.

    It’s already problematic getting a black coffee from McDonalds before nightshift. Way to many people put a lot of effort into getting “ready” and are content with dining at McDonalds. It’s not like they have an emergancy. They really get ready and eat there and act like it is a real dinner where I see it as a necessity or emergancy before I starve or am tired (coffee). It took me 20 minutes just to get a coffee cause they ordered food. I always wonder where these people get the energy from leaving home, driving to a McDonalds and eating there. So much better options to cook at home.
