60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Just one CEO of a Healthcare Insurance Provider can feed a family of four, for up to eight weeks.
No more billionaires. You can have 999,999,999.99.
But that's it, too bad. The country gets the rest.
I vote we start with elon

Greed kills!
$50 mil and a spread outside Stockholm.
Works every time.
Take a riad in Marrakech for the winter, maybe.
I won’t be interested in making any more money than the $50 mil
It's not rocket science...
It's called Citizens United!
👞👞👞👞
Spread out the money evenly and start again 🤦♀️
These people are just rich, they're not Navy Seals who can kill you with one punch: they are vulnerable.
Let's start disturbing their perfect little lives.
Before climate change ends civilisation
The rejection of federal aid has parallels to the bitter fights over the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
Guess how many kids cured of cancer, or lunches for a family that represents.

What does she think causes so many ex-cons to end up back in prison? Why are people so stupid?
This won’t end well for them.
There are a surplus of Luigi’s in this country…
If there is no putin I would be happy
No offense, but you rich folks sure are slow to learn what we already know.
We’re living it, you know. If at any point in time y’all had been willing to hear us, you’d already know how bad it was.
Rich privilege bubble must be super nice.
Wealth.
First.
Everything else will follow.
Spread the word.
THE. GOAL.
➡️ Without sustainable parity for all life, there can be no civility. ⬅️

The rest vary with markets and private equity movement—some names never trend, but their influence does.
😠 Vivek Ramaswamy
😠 Steve Wynn,
😠 Nelson Peltz,
😠 Marc Andreessen
😠 Ben Horowitz
It was a great idea in theory but people are broken. We can’t be trusted to do the right thing.
And further, politics is the art of using capital to obstruct democracy, which is why we are in this mess.
Killing the American dream, one dollar at a time.
I just never thought at 70 & 73 we would be back at square 1 with medical bills.
Rice & beans.
Myself not so much. I survived Colon Cancer due to the fact I had one hell of a fighter for a surgeon.
I only have Medicare & ND Medicade for disabilities. ND screwed up.
Every poor and middle class person knows ...lives this.
You're set though, Robert. Thanks for the post!
I'm sorry. They want %80+ of my income.
Why bother working? Most people will go broke in the first month. Anyone with savings will follow in the next 2 months.
Nothing tastes better than a poor person who eats a selfish rich person...
Eat the rich !
40+ million of us live in poverty.
34+ million people are food-insecure.
More than 80 million of us are underinsured or uninsured.
The Federal minimum wage hasn't been changed in 19 years.
770,000 people were homeless in 2024.
OLIGARCHY.
Destroying our economy.
But at least they got the Libs!
I know a young woman who is employed, not on drugs, perfectly nice and functional who keeps her stuff in storage and lives in her car in her friend’s driveway (both of which she pays for).
That's why undocumented people take the jobs
….and the unfailing determination of the very people most victimized by inequality to keep voting for the people who put them there.
That’s the logical conclusion of the unmitigated greed of a few.
Combine that with a Democratic party that couldn't sell free food to starving people, and you get the American society in 2025.
Want more affordable eggs? What kind of jet can you offer me? And don’t forget to bow before me, you peasants.
This craziness daily for four years?
What a f'ing awful true statement!
The dumb in this country….
Please reach out if you are able to support in anyway possible. I desperately need the help. I’m sorry if I bothered anyone, pls just ignore if you aren’t interested. Reporting does nothing but damage poor folks even more💔
Rich, free, ignorant, arrogant, greedy, selfish, racist, short-sighted, gullible, violent, callous, rapist-worshipping fat fascists.
And proud of it!
No wonder the condition for a revolution are nearly as high as a civil war over there according to statisticians.
First step is making a government worth paying taxes to - one that prosecutes fraud regardless of race or wealth.
Do ya think we can fly for free on the new US plane???
One million seconds = 11-1/2 days
One billion seconds is almost 33 years
One trillion seconds is 31,688 years
