      It’s just facts.

      https://www.oxfamamerica.org/press/press-releases/in-january-billionaires-amassed-more-wealth-than-the-poorest-third-of-humanity-owns/

      In January alone, billionaire wealth surged by $314 billion―around $10 billion a day. This is more than the combined wealth of the 2.8 billion people who make up the poorest third of humanity.

      At the global average income, it would take 15 million workers an entire year to collectively earn the same amount of money

        The wealth gap is getting worse at an exponential rate. How long until we all bust out the guillotines?

          Hes saying that everyone single person who upvoted this post would have to convince millions of people each to stand a chance against the financial power that is held by billionaires.

          Rich people love when idiots think that they can change the world by doing purely individualistic stuff. Even if you convince hundreds of people it wont change their margins by even 0.001%. Believing that markets have built in course correction that cant be completely dominated and steered by rich people is the biggest lie in the world.

          Do individualistic stuff anyways, because every improvement matters and it might make you happy. But know that it requires more than that to make a significant difference.

            Also every movement starts small. It might not matter much on an individual level but you gotta start somewhere.

              No it doesnt, i have lived in Europe my whole life and its just as corrupt. The fucking german chancellor is a criminal involved in a huge tax evasion fraud. All big industries are friends with people in power and get huge amounts of taxes for no reason. As soon as a large company like VW loses money, they are bailed out with your taxes to keep it from going bankrupt. You can stop giving them your money, but the government will just do it for you by redirecting your taxes.

                I don’t understand you people. When you argue about where in the world there is least corruption, or where the wealth inequality is worst etc… Why don’t any one of you look up the facts? Why both just bla bla whine bla argue bla debate for hours and nobody check the stats. Nobody cares about looking up the truth. Why? You could have a discussion about why x or y has more wealth inequality, expand the human understanding maybe, but you engage in some perverted yapping contest instead? Waste of time imo.
