I really don't wanna accept this notion - but I also remember Daniel Kahneman once being asked about #climatechange. He said that we are not gonna do anything about it - because - human nature. The interviewer was shocked. It does seem true. We saw it during #Covid and now through this #war - the lives of the #poor in faraway places simply don't matter for many in the #US #Europe.

A quotation from Melville

Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.

Herman Melville (1819-1891) American writer
Story (1854-06), “Poor Man’s Pudding and Rich Man’s Crumbs,” “Picture First,” Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 9

It's great that our current government has finally realised that many people are doing it tough. However, the underlying cause is massive, planned #inequality. The fix should involve capital gains taxes, higher taxes for the rich, lower taxes for the #poor, closing #tax loopholes, and ultimately better wages for the poor. #nzpol
