    I believe Plato pointed this out in The Republic.

    He thought the richest citizen needed to have no more then 5x the wealth of the poorest citizen or you would inevitably slide into oligarchy.

      We crossed that threshold so long ago that you can make 5x the poverty level and still not be able to afford a house.

          0 isn’t real, it is a social construct created by big math.

          You add by 0 and its still the same… what?

          You subtract by 0 and its still the same… why?

          You multiply by 0 and you BECOME 0, the heck?

          You divide by 0 and its… big not even a number just a concept… sure buddy!
