8. Get set for 1929. Honestly, I don't think this wealth imbalance is sustainable.

Too bad the wealthy don't voluntarily moderate their insatiable demands for more and more.

I don't begrudge talented, hard working folks getting rich.

I do begrudge them using their wealth to screw over the rest of us.

I've heard that the only reason it died out is because there were no more people left to infect - they had either died or recovered. No vaccine, no antibiotics. Who would have imagined that in an epidemic a century later, people would refuse the vaccines that could save them, and mock the scientists.
