this is a weird argument. It amounts to saying that since things are bad in many places, it would be good if things were also bad in places where they are currently good.



That's what you understood. in fact, I'm talking about the big amount of money wasted bountifully for luxury offices with massage rooms, startups with no revenue but hundred thousand dollars monthly office expenses. Of course I'm happy that there is wealthy countries in the world, as well. But I do know one thing too, we owe this wealth to those who struggle and accept working for 2$ per day. And Uber or Snapchat doesn't have any impact in their lives. When people who make those jeans that we buy from the fancy stores here, many of work in underground textile factories starting in very young age like 11, and they die at twenties suffering from Silicosis disease. Just one example. You can ignore all the world and talk about Uber, Snapchat every day for sure. I'm not saying startups shouldn't be invested, or I'm not against venture capitalism. Try to get my point without arriving to that kind of conclusions.
