In 2016 one of the leaders at Y Combinator, Paul Graham, wrote a blog post (archived) that I've been mad about for five years. He basically argued that it doesn't matter how rich he is, just how poor the poor are. It's so daft. Inequality is itself vampiric. I tried to make the point in an essay for the Observer then that I'm not even going to link. That said, this blog post does a great job countering it, even though it doesn't point the post out. It explains how the need to appear well off creates cascading stressors on people that makes the whole country shitty. He goes after doctors. It's fun.

Graham, for his part, is not letting his daft takes drop. (Archived)
