Rich people outbid regular folks for real resources (homes), taking away any chance at intergenerational wealth building. the only (legal) answer at the moment is taxation of the rich.

Gary Stevenson has some worthwhile insights on what we can do and how to convince working class people that the rich must be stopped or else your kids and grandkids will all be homeless renters.

inequality is sharply risinh all around the world. and it’s getting worse. this is arguably the most important issue of our time.

first time hearing about this, any more details you can provide or link to a news release? is this Ubiik?

saving this for later, thanks

agreed. all i can say is,

don’t give up. tax the rich. death to billionaires.

no, the land belongs to all Americans. it isn’t “owned” because unlike private property, the land has multiple multiple layers of restrictions on how it can be leased, used, and preserved for the benefit of future generations.

it’s the opposite of the common definition of “owned”.

it is held in trust.

no, i do not mean Hollywood… that’s weird… why would anyone think corporate media means what, marvel movies?

I’m talking about Time Warner, Sinclair, CNN, Netflix, Comcast, Amazon, NBC, Fox, every single source of online professionally written articles, video segments, the evening news, and mainstream platform owned by someone with a net worth exceeding $1 billion dollars. the corporate media, ya know, the ones who manufacture the consent as described in “Manufacturing Consent” or a dozen different media criticism books available at your local library or on youtube (if you prefer).

I’m hoping that too. either way, I’m not advocating hopelessness or doomerism. I’ll be working harder than ever this year to decouple my life from corporations and govt reliance. community building, strengthening friendships, helping others when I can. it’s going to be a long road ahead and we won’t survive as isolated individuals.

I don’t think you realize just how long it takes to hire federal employees, or reconstitute entire agencies (like CFPB).

tens of thousands of people forced out, thousands of research grants and projects canceled, hundreds of programs stifled…

this is the end of the federal government as we know it, and it will take a generation (20+ yrs) of back to back Democrat administrations to rebuild it. that’s not going to happen.

the oligarchs won dude. kids growing up today will never know how much has been lost. the corporate media will make sure all they know is ‘we’ve always been at war with eastasia’’

the overarching goal of the administration is to enrich US based billionaires and business elites… if regular Americans need to suffer in the short and long term, then so be it. the rest of the media blitz is smoke and mirrors to distract from the pilfering of the masses and inevitable privatization of public services.
