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

~"... 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.
