Even if I weren't dry, it usually feels kind of wasteful to spend merit on legendary members. However, sometimes...

TERA got a lot right, and was shamefully treated for it.

Wealth disparity is not the worst thing...historical forces that typically remove the disparity are much more disagreeable.
I am reading a book that systematically looked at what reduces inequality..and turns out only major wars and deadly pandemics (plaque in medieval Europe) were able to temporarily reduce inequality.

No, the disparity does not steadily increase. It increased for a few centuries, correct, then decreased from 1930-1940 (following WWI/WWII combo, separated by just 20 years) until 1975-1980, then steadily increased again until now.
To your second statement: yes, there not many instances where the poor move several strata in one generation.

Please have WOsMerits instead, gents. +1 each.


I am done even entertaining anyone on the left. You, and people like you, do not understand human psychology or economics. You are worthless.

If you have an argument then make it. You have as yet not done so. There is no argument to win.
Shht. Not at bed yet? The grown ups are having a quiet talk. Tut tut.

You're good when you stick to the facts happening around you. I, for one, actually appreciated your contribution about the bank - and had to remind myself about the intended use of Smerit before spending my last one on you  Tongue
