More fuel for the fire. The wonderful American import of "guilt-fuelled work culture" where how hard you work direcrly correlates with your worth as a person. Remember, your career is worthless and your effort in school is wasted unless you have good word on your resume, feel guilty enough yet, lazybones?

Those shareholders like it because it makes more money, and they are encouraged to be the sort of people that should want more money too. Good for them, successful businesspeople!

This disgusting, inhuman pursuit "of number go up" has reached new heights because of the globalism issue. Citizens of successful, comfortable nations, instead of being economically free to pursue greater meaning and develop humanity further via the arts, and other pursuits of meaning, are instead forced to compete with millions of starved, desperate workers from developing nations, who are worked so hard they die in an accountancy job, and they are in turn pitched against the lowest bidder Why? corporate greed. How dare YOU ask for your number to go up as well, this other guy will do it for less and he has more qualifications than you!

Billionaires should not exist

This has its roots in Calvinism though, not billionaires. And once you touch things related to faith, you are out of the rational world, while simultaneously touching the egregore of a nation.

These two aspects alone mean that such issues are very difficult to change, with the current unrest and ever increasing political overbidding suggesting that the only catharsis will come from societal collapse, as there seems to be absolutely no room to discuss anything remotely linked to the identity of the nation or its citizens.
