Read a news article, by headline because really I don’t care enough to be bothered reading why. About a mother, who was denied home-at-work and had a child die over some circumstance, was awarded $22 million. Whether she gets it or not, doesn’t matter, what matters is that nobody should ever win that much in any case. Millions have been tossed around so fruitlessly in cases like these.
Should that mom deserve some form of compensation? Yeah, probably, but not millions. It doesn’t bring back the the child, in fact, money never really heals these kinds of wounds. If so, why isn’t anyone getting some of that money anyways?
Why is a woman whose child is murdered through corporate malfeasance less deserving of wealth than the CEO whose ability to vacillate gets them a bonus whether the company does good or bad?
Why is she less deserving than some rando who won the birth lottery?
Or, hell, a rando who just won a lottety lottery?
Nobody deserves so much money.
