You have drawn a connection to this with the existence of the billionaires.<br /><br />I'm having a hard time reconciling that with what I see in the United States, which has a disproportionate number of those billionaires and extremely low (or objectively, non-existent) levels of poverty.<br /><br />Here in the states, we have an enormous implementation of automated processing and machinery. Yet, it appears to me that there is all manner of occupational mobility and gainful employment available to those who want it.<br /><br />I'm having trouble seeing how the Holy Father's concerns apply to that particular society of billionaires in the context you have analyzed.pelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136602454526310163noreply@blogger.com
