npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) I have to say I disagree strongly with the first statement in their letter.
Wealth inequality does not create any wealth. It just transfers wealth from the poor to the rich, making the majority poorer and damaging social cohesion.
People are inherently creative and inventive, and will create useful new things which make everyone's life better if you just leave them alone. The only incentive they need is recognition.
