      It’s not about the amount of people when the top 10 own like 40% of everything.

      But yeah, your sentence is still correct; the level of greed just comes from a tiny minority of people.

        It is about the amount of people, at this level of greed. Everyone wants a house in the suburbs.

          No, not everyone does.

          Besides, we could probably utilise a lot of area sustainably to increase suburbs, worldwide, if we didn’t live in this wageslave bullshit where only the top hogs all the money while not giving a fuck about sustainability or employee well being.

      Is inequality actually the problem when it comes to carbon? Just as a thought exercise, if everyone on earth, or even within each county, received an equal share of GDP, I suspect emissions may increase. You’d replace the private jets with more of everything else. Inequality is a major issue for a host of other reasons though, absolutely.
