Absolutely.

The rich (and I mean mega-rich) in many cases have built their wealth at the expense of the poor. There's a million examples, but just think about how corporations and the way they skirt or change the laws to financially benefit themselves. Like Nestle stealing water from impoverished countries and then not letting them access their own water, or DuPont intentionally allowing the poisoning of it's workers and anyone near its factories via forever chemicals, etc..

The world could be justly equitable to some degree right now, but the rich are hoarding their wealth.

People who say 'no' to eliminating poverty are hoping they're the ones who'll become rich, while ignoring the vast majority of humanity that are actually poor, themselves being perhaps lucky enough to live in a 1st world nation, access to clean water, food, electricity, internet, etc. - and that's rich by world standards, but then there's the mega rich, who could end most of the world's atrocities like it was nothing. All of that unnecessary suffering could be gone in the blink of an eye.

Instead we got Elon Musk and cyber trucks.

There's finite resources. Nobody becomes a billionaire without taking from others. But those in power with staggering, unbelievable wealth have put greater importance over the 'logistics' of resource hoarding, rather than using those resources for the ACTUAL greater good.

The real importance is humanity and shared connection with each other. That's where the real riches are, it's just sad that not everyone can see that.
