This is a game where the only way to win is to not play, or to have rich parents.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You're talking on a form full of people who code for a living. Many who have seen their lives become substantially better. There are many problems and challenges that we still face, but that doesn't mean there are no solutions.
I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here. I'm well aware of this. I'm saying that we need to do something about it or stop complaining. If you complain and take no further steps you are advocating for the issues, not condemning them.
Yes, since the pandemic started with a stock market crash, it's not hard to make it look like everyone made money "during" it.

Gates and Bezos did lose half their net worth in divorces recently though.

Yes and that is why it is better if humanity didn't exist. I.e. nobody plays.

Entertain the idea that every human has the option to be reincarnated when they die. How many people would voluntarily kill themselves to have a chance at being born to rich parents? It wouldn't surprise me if one third of the world population is constantly killing themselves for that lottery ticket.
