Question: Does this bifurcation of American society into haves and have-nots with lessening amounts of non-service interaction between them increase or decrease the wealthy’s ability to recognize the humanity rather than just the monetary value of the less-empowered below them?
![Screenshot 1 of 2 from the book The Algebra of Wealth. Image begins with a chart showing a decline in 30 year olds making more than their parents. Text below that reads: In 2020 Dylan sold his song catalog for $400 million. Money ain’t swearing at Bob no more. When he penned that lyric in 1965, an upper-middle-class life got you 90% of what the wealthy had. The wealthiest families had a bigger house than you, had a step up in wardrobe, and played golf at the private club instead of the municipal course. [End screenshot.

For the love of god please tell the people pushing buttons and flushing toilets and generally making everything worse with their feet that THESE ARE A THING.
Not only are they better than wobbling around like a weirdo, they leave the space overall better for everyone.
