A global study led by a researcher at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that economic inequality on a social level cannot be explained by bad choices among the poor nor by good decisions among the rich. Poor decisions were the same across all income groups, including for people who have overcome poverty.

    I’m pretty convinced economic inequality it’s made by a few people with a lot of money who don’t want anyone else to have more money.

    I feel like the system it’s made for the poor to keep being poor all their lifetime.
