  • And poor people still die homeless in the street.

    You'd think pitchforks would sell well. But apathy seems incurable, as people appear to have internalized staggering levels of inequality as a fact of normal life.

    • It's not apathy, it's fatigue... Growing up poor is brutal.

      • I'm not talking about the poor: as you say, they're tired and the assaults of ultra-capitalism are relentless.

        I'm talking about the middle class which, in the eyes of the ultra-rich, is just as insignificant as the ultra-poor, and is really only a few paychecks away from the same fate.

        Middle class people happily ignores the fate of their fellow man in the street, bow their head and say nothing, believing if they don't make too much fuss, the ultra-rich will maintain the status quo and they won't do too badly.

        That's us. WE should pick up the pitchfork. We have the energy and we have a good reason, because really, we're just slightly better than the poor and we pay a lot more taxes than the ultra-billionnaire sumremoved. But we don't.

  • Seems like a really dumb estimation. This report is solely relying on if the certain billionare will be able to keep up with their 100%+ wealth grow.

  • This is why US regulations exist but lets rip them all up so some guys can become so wealthy they can make a spaceship.
