What is going on here?
This comic strap is created by toby morris about inequality between the poor and the rich.
My opinion:
The inequality between the poor and the rich is present and known since decades ago. Many effort has been done to lessen such gap such as minimum wages, donation or free service done by individual or company,despite all the effort the gap is still present. It is an irony that the media in our news really doesn't care much these social issue at all. Almost as if the news we are seeing is all about blood, drama, problem, that is only mean to entertainment than arousing real concern or solution.
Why we should care about economic and social disparity?
The cliche answer and the most truest answer is that we are in this together. Nobody is living by themselves, nobody can survive by themselves. The bread that we eat, the eletricity we use , the water we drink, the road we walk on, they have been done by someone, someone we dont know personally. These laborious job are often done those in the lower half of the economic ladder,yet we think as though we own,it is only right that we have these privilege. It isn't. We aint living alone despite how our mind like to convince us in that way. How can we live comfortably when everyone else isnt? It will only be a matter of time that the effect will spread to those higher up in the chain. However, the real solution to this issue isnt going to be clear or easy. Both those with capability and those in need help need to reach out to each other.
