40 million Americans filed for unemployment during the pandemic, but billionaires saw their net worth increase by half a trillion dollars.
Not sure where the benefit to humanity is in any of that tbh OS
What are your solutions. I have no clue how to unfurl the ball of barbed wire that is the current system. I think the first thing I would look at is the media and its ownership network/structure
What do you think is going on even. https://inequality.org/facts/global-inequality/
Joining a political party might be a first step if you are looking at trying to influence change.
On the existence of billionaires just as a practical case. How exactly would you have prevented Bill Gates from becoming a Billionaire.
What you might be up against is the best legal brains in the world who will know constitutional law inside out etc etc etc.
Not to mention all the other laws. Who knew what Bill Gates' Microsoft was going to become even?
You might also want to consider - are billionaires just convenient windmills and are there much bigger issues out there like the people in charge of Zimbabwe as one obvious example. Who's doing more damage?
But you have to start somewhere and that focus should be on more local matters like how to get more bang for our tax buck or Euro if you prefer.
The answer to what is going on is a lot simpler than that link you posted btw - It's called greed mostly and in some instances begrudgery,
"Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country" is still one of the greatest quotes of all time and still very pertinent today.
