Making the world worse for everybody just to make money. I don't understand how people like this can live with themselves.

    Some people believe relative status is more important than absolute, so kicking others down is good.

    Interesting idea. What's absolute status then?

    I just stumbled upon the term and ran with it.
    The experience of deprivation: Does relative more than absolute status predict hostility?
    "the absolute level of how well‐off people are", "objective resources"

    I guess when there's pure relative change of status, absolute status is assumed to stay the same:

    They probably get a lot of praise. People treat rich people like they are better and smarter people by default. How often i have heard: shhhh do you know how much money he makes? Okay i don't get the correlation
