This is what a “K-shaped” #economy looks like in just one image. The rich are doing very well indeed - while the rest of us suffer in decline. This is nothing short of economic oppression by the #Billionaires and wealthy - who are def living high on the hog. It is the spending of the #OnePercent that is keeping the economy from tanking and the #StockMarket hitting all-time highs. This is NOT sustainable in the short- or long-run. It is, in fact, a recipe for #ClassWar. The downtrodden and forgotten majority will not put up with this imbalance for long.
#Onepercent
AI -
an incredibly expensive creation that relies on plagiarizing every thought, word, idea, vision or creation anyone has ever had and to monetize it, so that those who are already incredibly wealthy (and who have not had an original thought, word, idea, vision or creation ever) can be even more wealthy. All the while telling the plebes they actually need all this.
Regardless of what AI might do to people or the world.
Ain’t capitalism grand?

All of this rot and destruction could be stopped if regular ppl, all of us, nationally and globally, withdrew our consent.
We do not buy into corruption
We do not buy from corrupt sources
We withdraw labour from corrupt sources (General Strike)
We do not play the game with corruption.
We do it strategically
We do it in solidarity
We do it to win against them.
But we must do it now.
Without our $ € £ ¥ ₩ going into their pockets they will unravel quickly.

...The net income for the top 20% of earners would increase by nearly $13,000 per year, after taxes and transfers, according to an analysis of a near-final version of the Senate bill by Penn Wharton Budget Model.
That amounts to a 3% average increase in income for those households.
For the top 0.1% of earners, the average annual income gain would amount to more than $290,000, according to Penn Wharton.

WTF
Irgendwann sind wir falsch abgebogen und befinden uns in einer Welt, wo Milliardäre und Politiker sich wie Götter auf dem Olymp verhalten, mit all ihren Lügen, Intrigen, Kriegen und gleichzeitigen Desinteresse an Menschenleben.
Niemand scheint zu realisieren, dass diese Darsteller dieser Farce keine übernatürlichen Wesen von Unsterblichkeit sind.
Wann endlich stehen die Menschen auf und beenden das einfach mal? Genug ist genug.
A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
No man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should represent a dollar’s worth of service rendered — not gambling in stocks, but service rendered. The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore, I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and in another tax which is far more easily collected and far more effective — a graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion and increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” John Brown Memorial Park dedication, Osawatomie, Kansas

Article NOT true why? The bl#budget VERY MUCH adds SEVERAL TRILLION TO DEFICIT. I've seen this mentioned in virtually ALL articles on the topic.
Also somehow the #republican holdouts over the bill changed their mind and also the bill makes the previous #trump admin tax cuts to #rich #onepercent PERMENENT

They are going to fuck up #socialsecurity by rewriting the software to make it less functional. To then try to pull the wool over the #workingclass as a means to place social security on the bargaining table.
Remember this is the last Bastion for anyone making under $300k a year to get a lick of their labor given to the #federalgovernment
If it comes to the bargaining table they will push to disband it, and what will happen to all those trillions of dollars? It won't be in your wallet, or any of your loved ones, or even neighbors.
That money will be used to make the #onepercent richer.
We have to stop letting our distractions that categories whether it be race, religion, gender, sexuality, and even political affiliation.
Together we are strong and the #oligarchs need us more that we need them. The real fight is the #classwar
