Work More for less pay while you get fleeced by the 1% - 50 Trillion stolen from us ( lemmy.whynotdrs.org )

Source: time.com/…/50-trillion-income-inequality-america/

“On average, extreme inequality is costing the median income full-time worker about $42,000 a year. Adjusted for inflation using the CPI, the numbers are even worse: half of all full-time workers (those at or below the median income of $50,000 a year) now earn less than half what they would have had incomes across the distribution continued to keep pace with economic growth. And that’s per worker, not per household.”

We are getting stolen from everyday by the billionaire class who have bought themselves politicians and the media to keep you from getting what you deserve

Very interesting, nuanced topic. 🧠

E.g. many of main challenges (e.g. malaria) have material existing billionaire support (Gates). 💉

Liked this study from referenced charity - the findings will be interesting by the end of the decade. 📈

The rich are starting to look mighty tasty.

Honestly like probably not though.

Not enough hard work to make the meat anything but flabby sinewy hatred

If you're interested in space and you don't know how far ahead billionaires are then you aren't that interested in space
