  27. ~"... the explosion of at the very top is without precedent in 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."

  30. 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.
