For me the biggest problem is consumerism, consuming more than we need has become very easy, in the past they spoke of "there is no poverty that can withstand 12 hours of work" but in the past, those who worked 12 hours did not pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime, cable TV, internet, cell phone rental, when I got home locked up after that day I didn't buy food by delivery, they didn't buy brand names when they were looking to get dressed, they fed when they were hungry and not by desires driven by "delicious" dishes in social networks.

That is why 50 years ago 12 hours of work (even if they were not well paid) took people out of poverty and put them in the middle class, human beings always look for the greatest reward with minimal effort, currently many content creators already Whether dancing, making jokes, or even talking about money, they can earn much more than a farmer, they earn more than the people who clean our streets, they earn more than police officers, they earn more than the people who sew our clothes, etc., that makes us Many people want to migrate to activities (less productive but with more profit), that always leads to greater consumption than we need, which again for me is the big problem.

The rich benefit from consumerism, of course, Netflix and Disney benefit from the fact that people are so stupid to subscribe to them and barely have time to watch a series or movie, now are the rich bad for that? Of course not, it is one of the stupid consumer decisions of the majority of people, it is the same as if in a town a large part of the people are fat, would the town's cardiologist doctors benefit? Of course, yes, plenty of patients, they may even have to raise the consultation price because they can't afford it, but the fact that everyone is fat is not their fault, it is people's decisions at the consumption level.
