This raises a really important point that most people will miss or deny.

I think a lot of people are frustrated today not because of poverty by itself, but of wealth disparity. This leads directly to impaired social structures (isolation), relationships and quality of life.

It is not disrespectful to the turbulence of Ireland to make the comparison here.

If it is socially acceptable to terrorize your neighbours with leaf blowers and concrete cutters so they can't hear themselves think, for the sake only of visual vanity, how civilized is that? If you can rationalize that kind of obvious harm to the person next door, you can rationalize anything. It is a shaky peace.
