Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay.

Don’t believe what you’re being told, there isn’t a #CostOfLiving crisis.
There is a #DistributionOfWealth crisis.
For the last 50 years wealth has been deliberately directed away from younger people and families with the safety of knowing that young people don’t vote.
The people who vote (older people) benefit from policies and wealth transfers to them because politicians want to stay in power as long as possible.
Young people, please get out and vote and convince your friends to vote in your #election. Nothing will change and wealth will continue to be transferred away until young people overwhelm the vote and become the demographic politicians need to be in power.
