"Morbidly Wealthy": The world’s five richest men have more than doubled their fortunes from $405b to $869b since 2020—at a rate of $14m/hr—while nearly five billion people have been made poorer

Universal healthcare now, paid for by the top 5 wealthiest people in the country. If they don't want to pay it, they can spend until they are #6 or below.

Guillotines for anyone taking action against universal healthcare.

When you're told the economy is doing great this is what they mean. It's a bad message to send in an election year.

Sadly this won't make them any tastier.

So what's your breaking point? What's society's?

As anyone who has played the board game Monopoly can tell you, this is the point in the game where the game is effectively "over", the winner has been decided. That one player owns most of the board and the rest are hanging on with mortgages and selling off their houses and properties to hang on for one more turn and hoping to land on a space that doesn't bankrupt them. But we all know they eventually will.

So, when do we say GG, pack up the board and try something else?

Makes me wonder what the numbers would be if we did tax brackets for capital property.

Like with incomes there's might be a standard deviation curve but people are considered at least diet rich in this country if they can afford to own a second home for whatever purpose.

Going up to three properties I'm pretty sure makes viewing it based on percentile pointless.

Lets see some names. Who are these people?

It's time to eat these motherfuckers

That's a hell of a lot of money to steal in just a few years. In under a decade, they'll all be trillionaires, and we'll all be trillions of dollars poorer.

Can't wait to read some idiot's argument on why Trump is the right guy to fix this lol

can we please just absolutely devour these “people”

Man that's bad why aren't people doing something about this. Me then proceed to continue doomscrolling.

The problem (according to Das Kapital ) is that the owning class will fight back. Not all of them. Some realize that long-term capitalism requires keeping the working class happy (more or less) but well more than not. And as we learned with feudalism in the middle ages, it takes only one bad king to bring the ruin the works of ten of his predecessors. (It's a running theme in A Song of Ice and Fire )

So these recommendations are on the assumption that our governments are not already captured. The point of government is to serve the public good and the US has been trying to go back to that for over a century (since the Great depression, which escalated the desire to try something else, all the while the Soviet Union was doing just that.)

Our plutocrats have more resources by which to keep hold of our current governments, even as industry pollutes the air and drives us toward extinction.

Great. I think the rest of us were made poorer, with stock market going down a lot, inflation and high energy prices.

But who cares right.

"Morbidly Wealthy"....."Economically Obese"..?

Make billionaires extinct

#guillotines

These are all paper gains if they would never be able to realize that money in reality.

In their pockets flation

Eat them!

"richest men" Hmmm.

Permanently Deleted

Remember, any time you see this headline, they're cherrypicking the date to after the richest men lost 50% of their wealth in the Stock collapse immediately after covid/lockdowns hit.

Thank goodness Biden is doing so much to combat this

If you really believe in the words that you preach, get off your screens and onto the streets. There will be no peaceful revolution, no war without blood. You can say I'm just a fool that stands for nothing. Well, to that, I say you're a cunt.

"Morbidly" doesn't work in this context

Ah the yearly Oxfam cherry picked data. For this one, they say "since 2020" but really this is "since Mars 2020 when the stock market was crashing and hitting incredible lows", which helps inflate their click-baity figures.
