Inequality has never been as visible as it is today. We look around and see houses that no one can afford, prices that are constantly rising, and salaries that are barely enough to cover the basics. And do you know what is behind this? Financialization and deindustrialization. These processes are transforming the economy into something that only serves those who are already at the top.

When central banks print money, do you think it reaches us? No. It goes straight to the big banks and investment funds. And what do they do? They buy houses, land, companies, and transform everything into something that only those with a lot of money can access. For the rest of us, we are left with the bill for inflation – the bill for this unfair system.

Meanwhile, employment is increasingly scarce and precarious. Factories have closed or moved to other countries, and what is left for us? Jobs that pay little and demand a lot. Purchasing power is decreasing, and the feeling of running around without getting anywhere is growing.

It is as if the game is already rigged. Those who have money turn more money into power. Those who don't have money are stuck, paying dearly for everything, with no chance of changing their position. The dream of owning a home, of having security, is being stolen from us, and all of this because the system was designed to enrich those who are already rich.

What hurts the most is realizing that this is not an accident. It is a choice, made at the top of the pyramid, far from us. Inequality is not an accident – it is the result of policies that prioritize the financial market over people. And if nothing changes, it will continue like this.

We need to talk about this, we need to look for alternatives. Because, the way things are, only the 1% win, and the 99% are left with the bill.
