The SNAP cuts come at a time of growing wealth inequality in the U.S. The richest households have seen their wealth balloon in recent years from investment gains, while lower-income households have seen their wage growth slow, their job prospects weaken and their costs continue to rise. Now, the divide between the rich and poor in America is the widest it has been in at least a generation — and growing, according to Federal Reserve figures.

"Most of the things that you see out there, that are developed by people, are financed by rich parents."
If you love and care about music, and art in general, this opinion piece by music producer Rick Beato is a must-listen.
He believes that the reason there's so little variety in music these days is because low wages and high rents have squeezed working-class kids out of the arts - from the music business, to TV & film, even journalism - we're mostly listening to the voices of wealthy people.

CW: CW: ukpol, longevity.
“The analysis, based on data from the Office for National Statistics between 2022-24 and 2012-2014, found those in the wealthiest 10% of areas could expect to have around 20 more years of good health than those in the poorest.”

RE: https://mstdn.social/@mindaslab/116475101540337569
It’s odd when someone who isn’t one of the primary beneficiaries of the system is extremely committed to opposing any increase in taxation of those primary beneficiaries let alone more radical measures like workplace #democracy. Perhaps this Orwell quote provides some insight into such #psychology

CW: Unpopular Opinion - Piracy
TBH, folks, part of me thinks piracy is fast becoming a moral imperative.
The vast majority of artists don't receive any meaningful compensation from content streaming, and in fact, the value they should be getting for their labor is going to CEO's, company boards, and no-talent ass clown shareholders.
Plus it pisses me off that they retcon older content and I'd rather have the originals tucked away on an external drive.

I don't know if I'll ever understand the logic for ever more tax cuts for the rich. I mean, why? What benefit is there to most of the World's population in making the rich even richer? FFS, they put it in offshore tax havens, they buy yachts or football teams or play at space rockets. I've heard some say that it's time to dust off the guillotines, and you know what? I don't have a good answer as to why not.

“Statistics Canada says the top 20 per cent of the wealth distribution accounted for 65.7 per cent of Canada’s total net worth at the end of 2025, averaging $3.5 million per household.
In contrast, the bottom 40 per cent of the wealth distribution held three per cent of Canada’s net worth, averaging $81,650 per household.”
I am in neither of these brackets which I guess means I am firmly ‘middle class’, but guys, it's still bloody hard. Way harder than it should be.

An ultra #rich class does NOT indicate #prosperity. Rather, it points to a severe #WealthInequality caused by a #corrupt system that enables #WealthConsolidation by a few. No amount of #honest hard work will make you that rich.
Such individuals better realize that advertising themselves with full frontpage ads in newspapers is not the flex they think it is. It's a grotesque display of ill-gotten privilege that paints a target on their back when the common folks have had enough.
