Everyone in your train to work that plays with his smartphone paid for it over the last years... some people got rich over it... this has nothing to do how to have a good society

But isn't that part of better society. People keep grinding on the fact that wages have been stagnant etc, but everyone has a smartphone and a wall-sized TV when before they didn't. Is it worth letting some people get obscenely wealthy if everyone gets to have a smartphone in recompense?

What really seems to be happening is a blind spot when it comes to housing and healthcare that's preventing those sectors from keeping up.
