If only it was just the best of humanity, it would be a very different & far better world.
Really, I think we should be teaching every schoolkid not just basic parenting, budgeting, cooking & gardening but first & foremost, empathy.
In every western country which grabbed onto Neo Liberalism, the results of several decades that are being seen & it isn't good. On the coast in Westport, several greed crazed vulture bastards from up north descended & rapidly bought up properties there ( including ex state rentals as they were sold off) which they proceeded to let at exorbitant rents which they had no problem increasing at the drop of a hat. This was made far worse when they had bad flooding there a while ago with fewer rental properties available; one person I was told about had a rent increase of over $100 pw.
If that isn't greed then its an excellent imitation & imo should be illegal.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
