nah its more about wealth disparity and the need to increasingly being high in the mix to not have enough to lose. My family it takes over 80k for basic expenses to break even. Any emergencies or unforeseen things and its in the red which includes health insurance not functioning as its supposed to. people are non violent due to a keeping of the social contract mostly.
That makes sense. Never experienced anything like that in my life. Always had enough money.
Money is the entire system of control and power. But we forget it's not real, unlike air, water and food. Humans came up with money and humans can remove it too.
Not saying we should go back to bartering. Someone more educated than me would have to come up with alternatives that doesn't cause misery and pain to the human race.
Fun fact: The whole "bartering system" was mostly a myth anyways.
