You think people all have an identical range of emotions and innate responses, but I mistook you for a different sort of mind, so that is enough of that.

TittyFrog, or perhaps if I could call you Titty, I cannot accept your analysis, I was very clearly making the point that a greatly atrophied morality was one of the primary prerequisites to the accumulation of a superabundance of wealth. Physical removal from poverty is minor Titty compared to the cognitive removal.

Are you working for a corporation, are you paying taxes to the government, what have you personally done to bring about a more equitable redistribution of wealth and how effective have your actions been. You are an ordinary person, the same as the majority of the generation before you, they cannot be blamed for living their lives as easily as they could within the society they found themselves. The blame for the current financial predicament working people find themselves in lies in a very clear single cause and until large proportions of the population see this clearly nothing will be done. You blurring the dominant cause is actively hindering its betterment.

Do not blame boomers, do not blame your parents for having lived through fairer times. The reason it is far more financially difficult to live now is because more and more money is being removed from the system by the owners of production. It is the plutocracy of the very few that has so impoverished society not your parents buying their own house when they were twenty five. You are being misdirected.

They are distinct, entitlement is lack of emotional empathy, a mental disorder in an individual which allows the accumulation of wealth far beyond their needs while making them oblivious to any ramifications to the society from which it was drawn.

It is the same thing, the callous entitlement to maintain wealth when it does obvious harm to others is the same asocial ability needed to accumulate it.

Very little wealth is created, it is more commonly amassed by taking it from others and more importantly it is hoarded by an ability in the individual to override the feelings of immorality that arise from seeing the effects of its grossly uneven distribution. This coarse lack of empathy is scalable and holds from impoverishing entire societies to stealing candy from babies.

I do not properly understand why it is not criminal for people in companies to make decisions to hinder limits on products they make profit from, but which demonstrably harm people. In the same way that it is if I found out if I hit people with a bat it’s easier for me to convince them to give me cash and so did that to a large number of people.

I was thinking more of the carers, nurses and family members of those suffering from the disease. Not only does it take everything from them that was themselves but now the prospect they might transmit it to those that care for them too.

The possibility that stroke and Alzheimer’s dementia might be transmissible is very bad news and has so many ramifications. People with Alzheimer’s dementia will commonly have a deterioration in physical health, with injury and things like pressure sores making them bleed more.

Despite the things you have said you have done the distribution of wealth has become more polarised across your generation than before. Your children with good cause will blame you for their world as you blame the generations before you, in spite of your efforts to improve things. Possibly those before you recognised the way things were going and worked as hard as you to correct them but were as ineffective as you have been and for the same reasons. My point is you are on the Titanic blaming the weight of the other passengers for it sinking and not the iceberg.
