#99percent — Public Fediverse posts

If "Tax The Rich" offends your delicate sensibilities, then you're either a BILLIONAIRE OR you've been indoctrinated to believe you may some day be a BILLIONAIRE.

Like Aerosmith sang, "Eat the rich; there's only one thing they're very good for. Eat the rich; take one bite now, come back for more..."

I went for a walk an listened to a couple of episodes of #99percent which really struck me.

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/644-your-call-is-important-to-us/ is all about "sludge" the barriers to entry and progress that companies choose to implement because it's better for the bottom line than providing good customer service.

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/643-the-new-jungle/ is all about the economics and social impact of hiring setups designed to make the most of the most desparate people, a legal form of indentured labour.

Capitalism, especially that American form of insidious capitalism, is the biggest driver of misery.

Found this working class song this morning:

Personally, I think the distribution of #wealth over #population should never be a convex function. Always concave.

The 2024 #GlobalWealthReport by BCG is out, analysing the super-wealthy part of our population: https://web-assets.bcg.com/0c/b4/1e8b9a66409a8deae6fc166aa26e/2024-global-wealth-report-july-2024-edit-02.pdf

Apparently #AI can (and does) help to increase your wealth, if you are in that segment.

We are trying to build intelligent cognitive systems, and this is what we use them for — that's unsurprising, given who develops and supplies them, and unsettling, at the same time.

There should be a maximum wage.
