In life, with economic systems, and other parts, also seen in games, there is something called "the rich getting richer". In this, individuals who have an advantage, are able to compound this advantage and use the compounding effect to offset weaknesses. This can lead to an exponential expansion of separation between those who have and those who have not.
My question is this: Is the "rich getting richer" effect a problem? Is it healthy for a system to end up resulting in a few individuals on top with dominance, while many below who aren't as fortunate, and could end up falling further behind, as rather than compounding advantages witness a compounding of problems and a chain of events that could cause them to even suffer a shortness of life?
If it isn't health to allow this to be left unchecked, then what can be done that would be a way to balance things out more?
I wil say, often in games, where this happens, it is a problem that makes a game less fun to play.

You either have to much time on your hand or you just like posting redundant questions on the internet. You know the answer.

That is not an exclusive or. And also, note this forum on here and why it exists. It is for questions like this, because people feel like sharing them. So, how was that cookie you got for posting what you did there? You are fully aware you can just ignore things you don't like on the Internet, right? But, you are free to join the rabble on the Internet and just post comments like this.
Maybe a better use of my time would be to watch some taped Spongebob stuff on YouTube. So, what exactly do you do that isn't as wasteful of your time, besides saying that people are wasting their time, in a thread you feel is a waste of time?
