If your business model bets on increasing economic inequality, good for you. i'm very curious what this means. what are some examples of start-ups that make this bet? the only thing that comes to mind is private security and gated community development.

what does that have to do with income inequality? how does it help your business that an increasing narrow group of people can afford what you sell?
