"The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be." — Paul Valery

We used to think money solves everything.

That was back when we lacked money. When getting our hands on it seemed like the solution to everything.

Now, money is no longer the problem. Money is everywhere.

Sure, it is not fairly distributed…

10 percent of the richest people in the United States own almost 70 percent of the country’s total wealth. As of Q1 of 2021, the top 10 percent held 69.8 percent of total U.S. net worth. The top 1 percent held about half of that wealth — 32.1 percent, while the next 9 percent held approximately another half at 37.7 percent. The bottom 50 percent of U.S. residents only held 2 percent of all of U.S. wealth. (Statista.com)

But what is fairness anyway?

The thing is, money is floating around.

Those who have the most of it are no longer interested in how much money other people have. How much money you have. They'd rather know the kind of contribution one can bring to the table. You can bring to the table.
