Gee, the wealth gap is even wider now than it was in the days of the robber barons, but I dunno... maybe I'm just making myself sad.
I mean, what does this author want us to do? Reframe every horror as "Well, it ain't that bad." until we're onboard with shrugging off the murder of children school, the murder of trans children, the murder of children in gaza, the homelessness of anyone, etc.
