however, what is true is that while real incomes are growing, a larger percent of the pie is going to the rich, that is a very real thing

Just a moment...

your reply raises so many complex questions, that I am unable to know if I agree or disagree

for instance, if we look at extreme poverty, there has been a huge global decrease (decrease) over the past 50 years

In the US, real (inflation adjusted) median household income has gone up a lot since 1984

77 million people voted for this and another 90 million stayed home because both sides are the same. I can assure you that the majority of people supporting these atrocities are not wealthy, they're just bigoted, racist, lowlifes.

In every region, wealthy individuals invest in assets like stocks, real estate, and businesses. These assets generate high returns over time, multiplying existing wealth. While the cost of living rises, lower-income wages often remain flat. This reduces the actual purchasing power of the poor. Price increases on essential goods (food, rent) consume a larger percentage of a poor household's income than a rich household's income.

While I'm no fan of wealth inequality, I'm also not going to sit here and pretend I want to get rid of Mackenzie Scott, who has donated billions of dollars to great causes, including becoming the single largest donor to historically black colleges (HBCUs).

I'll take generous billionaires over racist, bigoted, working class MAGA voters, who elected a guy that promised the bloody deportation of a million immigrants, any day of the week.

Don't use Twitter.

Don't buy a Tesla.

Don't pay for StarLink.

Don't use Tesla chargers or Powerwall batteries.

The man is a stain on humanity, and unless we all stop giving him our money, he will continue to get rich off of us, and stay protected against his actions - even when those actions kill millions.

At what point will the term "mass murderer" finally stick to this asshole?
