  1. 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.

  4. An ultra class does NOT indicate . Rather, it points to a severe caused by a system that enables by a few. No amount of 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.

  15. CW: Mutual Aid Request

    Wealth inequality has hit Gilded Age levels of absurdity. If you are providing genuine value and building tools for the people, but you can’t pay your bills, you aren’t "running a business." You are performing uncompensated charity for a society that’s being drained by a small group who is hoarding wealth.

  16. What happens when you tax the rich (summary: they don't run away as conservative parties always warn, but they stay, and the whole society becomes a better, nicer place)

  17. Australia's super-generous property tax breaks—negative gearing + 50% CGT discount—have turned housing into a wealth machine for the already-wealthy. Result? Sky-high prices, falling home ownership for younger gens (36% of millennials bought before 30 vs 55% boomers), and now a hardening class divide: own property (or inherit the means) or get locked out forever. Without big tax reform, this isn't fixing itself. It's entrenching classes.

  19. British economist and former Citi trader Gary Stevenson warns that Australia is losing its "fair go" ethos due to a worsening housing crisis and widening wealth gap. During an Australian speaking tour, he told the ABC that governments worldwide are failing to seriously tackle inequality. Stevenson advocates for higher wages, improved housing affordability, and tax reforms that take more from the wealthy to boost living standards for low and middle-income households. He warns that without action, Australia will face the same decline in public services and rise in poverty seen in the UK and Europe. Despite his large YouTube following, Political leaders, trapped in "bubbles," are resistant to changing the economic status quo.

  20. @rafa_font Finland shows what real transparency looks like. Public tax records and very high earners paying their fair share builds trust and funds public services everyone relies on. Australia could learn a lot from this instead of secrecy carve outs and endless concessions for the wealthy. Standing ovation indeed.
