It is comforting to see that the ultra-wealthy that are attempting to overtake the halls of power globally are finally being referred to as the “morbidly wealthy”. In the late 19th century they were called “the Captains of Industry” however, at the beginning of the 20th century a new term was coined. It took some time for the press and the public to appreciate their new name, “the Robber Barons.” Now some twenty plus years into the 21st century we now know these same individuals as “the morbidly wealthy.”
For those who don’t have a dictionary at hand. The word morbid is defined as “the state of being unhealthy or diseased”! Their disease is not physical, though it does have aspects that express as mental and emotional disorders. However, this disease is spreading challenges throughout our social order and deeply impacting the quality of life for a majority of the population.
Before we go too far it is important to remember that this disease “morbid wealth” affects only a tiny fraction of the population, less than 1% or 1%. Luckily it is not contagious to normal people, however, the fear and paranoia from those infected with this disease does impact on the healthy. Their mental and emotional distress from being infected is spread globally as they are afraid of losing power, position, favour due to the rise of creative individuals who know the blessings of life are for all.
Thom Hartmann in a recent opinion piece (<https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/inside-the-gop-s-60-year-conspiracy-to-kill-our-democracy-opinion/ar-AA1yenMM?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=75522efb4b0140d08420e73065b3b10e&ei=144>) illustrates how this disease mutated from the “captains” to become the major threat to life in our time.
As with their predecessors they may only harm you, if you get too close, or attempt to believe that the way they think and live is healthy. Those who follow E.F. Schumacher (
