Understanding the hidden #energy layer of #wealthinequality

#Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

#garyseconomics is correct; if you want low taxes, move to a third world country as that's what happens if you don't collect enough taxes to offer decent services to your people

My accountant has sent me an email calling the money I pay myself from the little work I have "petty wages". I am rather angry at that term as I currently live off that money and the partial social welfare payment I get. It might be "petty" to her, but that is literally what I have right now.

Someone I know after working for a big grocery store for 10 years was happy to tell me they make $1 over the minimum wage.

They can only be scheduled for 24 hours per week. I suspect if they got scheduled for 40 hours the company would have to pay them benefits.

The company they work for is public. Looking up the CEO, he gets paid ~$12.6M per year. While the employees are making basically minimum wage, which is $18.25/hour in BC.

The CEO pays himself more than $8000/hour. He makes over $64,000 in a single 8-hour day, more than the employees make in an entire year.

I don't care who you are, no amount of work you do could possibly be worth this much over your employees. This is wage theft, and when combined with all the executives of the company, artificially increases the cost of products sold in the stores for all Canadians.

Tax. The. Rich.

Bigita is a man who lives in #Kampala, the capital city of #Uganda, but he owns miles of land in Kyankwanzi District. At one point, he refused to allow the electricity company to install power poles on his land.

As a result, many communities beyond his large property have been left without electricity until now.

I don't know if maybe the actions of some #capitalists are well known by the government officials. 🥺

As enthusiasts and skeptics argue over the environmental implications of hyperscale data centers, the impact on wealth distribution gets left out.

"AI companies have their eyes set on capturing all the value created by entire industries."

Let that sink in. How does indentured servitude sound? Digital serfdom, feudalism? Keep bickering over closed-loop though.

Excuse me while I vent into the void...

Ahem, thank you.

I love this quote. It highlights the absurdity at the heart of our society.

Under capitalism, it's very normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich, not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane.

Musk tweeted that if the WFP could describe exactly how $6 billion would solve world hunger using open-source accounting, he would "sell Tesla stock right now and do it."

The rich aren't your role models

~"... the explosion of #wealth at the very top is without precedent in #US history. At the height of the Gilded Age at the end of the 19th century, the richest handful of Americans had a net worth equivalent to about 3% of the country’s annual economic output... Today, the fortunes of the same 0.00001% — about 20 individuals — make up roughly four times as large a share, equivalent to 12% of annual output."

Get on your bike, Work overtime. Find a second job. Find a third job. Find yourself a roommate. Get married. Work overtime

Funny how every “solution” to making ends meet demands that we lower our standards, but the billionaires are never asked to lower theirs.

#WealthInequality

We need One Million People each having One Million Dollars, rather than One person like Elon Musk having One Trillion Dollars!
