The real superheroes are out there and are generally ignored
Totally agree! It has probably always been much the same to some extent but I do honestly think that over recent decades particularly the situation has worsened. If you've ever played that " 6 people in a failing aeroplane but only one parachute" role playing game where you've been randomly given a particular occupation and you have to justify why you should be the one who is saved by getting it, then the whole debate around how we financially reward those we should value more (or less) quickly becomes apparent! Society's moral compass on this does seem skewed but how it can be changed is quite another matter.
