    We are as strong as the weakest among us.

    And this is not a call to abandon the weak. Is the reminder that the stronger must care for and build up the weaker.

    This is what I don’t really get about a lot of the capitalists and neo-liberals, most of these measures to significantly increase the quality of life of the poor and education and health are not that expensive but would result in a much stronger and more productive overall society. That is something that even people who don’t care about the moral aspect should want.

      But stronger society equals less Power for the rich. Why would they do that?

      Ofc, If everything is fucked (climate i.e.), they could Just lift Off to Alpha centauri… Or can they…
