The Economic Divide In America

One of the wealthiest (albeit wealth that has been built on debt) countrys in the world (America) is clearly not at ease with itself, if an open letter penned by Justin Keller, an entrepreneur, developer and the founder of startup Commando.io is anything to go by.

In the letter, penned to to San Francisco mayor Ed Lee and police chief Greg Suhr, Keller bemoans the number of homeless people he has to look at in San Fransisco:

"I shouldn’t have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless people to and from my way to work every day."

For good measure he then goes on to describe them as "riff raff"!

"It is a very difficult and complex situation, but somehow during Super Bowl, almost all of the homeless and riff raff seem to up and vanish."

Money and wealth do not always bring happiness, especially when those with money revile those who do not have money!
