I’m all for eat the rich, but the question specifically was about global problems. It doesn’t really surprise me that people are less inclined to want to solve global problems if they see local problems that they think should be the priority. Maybe I’m giving people too much credit.

I don’t think it’s as black and white as that. There is a bit more info here: https://www.tuc.org.uk/news/tuc-disability-pay-gap-means-disabled-workers-effectively-stop-earning-today Which includes a breakdown by level and shows people with a disability earn less regardless of level in the organisation. Granted there still could be different jobs inside each level but if the average disabled person, regardless of level earns less than the average non-disabled person either we have systemic discrimination affecting which jobs disabled people can get or affecting their salaries once they get those jobs (or both)
