“So there’s a sense that #tariffs will tend to hit the #poorest in society harder than the #richest, which, generally, is the opposite of what you want in trying to create an equitable #system.” fivebooks.com/best-books/t... #books #bestbooks #economics

"The picture of worlds #richest man
being involved the death
of world's #poorest
is not a pretty one!"

Elon Musk is becoming a 1-man rogue state. Rime we reined him in

#Musk is, more or less, a #RogueState

His intentions are self-serving and #nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity.

He has:

- Bankrolled #elections
- Stoked #riots
- Ignored laws

We mustn’t make the mistake of playing nice with the world’s #richest #bully

This study reveals that #US #wealth #inequality, at historic highs, creates large #health inequality: a #lifespan difference of 13 years between the #richest and #poorest. Rectifying these #economic differences would raise overall #longevity to levels achieved in other #wealthy countries.

"The #richest 1% of the world’s population are responsible for as much #carbon #pollution as the people who make up the #poorest two-thirds of humanity. They have stolen our planet’s #resources to fuel their lavish lifestyles. A short trip on a private jet will produce more carbon than the average person emits all year. They are sacrificing us at the altar of their greed." — Greta Thunberg.
