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.

The official federal poverty level is a scam!

The actual bare minimum to survive in most large urban areas is far higher than the official federal poverty level for a family of 4 is just over $30,000/year.

The bare minimum for a family of 4, living in San Francisco, California, is over $200,000/year, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Billionaires emit a million times more greenhouse gases than the average person.

2022 OxFam study found that wealthiest individuals’ investments account for up to 70% of their emissions, producing an average of 3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per person, per year. This is a million times higher than the average 2.76 tons of CO2 for those living in the bottom 90%.

Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more, more”

Not asleep at the wheel.
It's by design.

*DOGE
*Gutting of federal agencies
*Slashing all science and research budgets

All to pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires....and to jack up the already record-breaking military budget.

"Polyworking" is the fancy, sanitized term invented to normalize people being forced to work multiple jobs to afford basic necessities. Don't glorify the grind.
Dismantle the system that requires it.

#classwar is back. But this time is the other way around: the top 1% fighting against 99% to strip us of most of our rights, to be able to exploit us more, and hoard more wealth than us!

#fakeDOJ #fakeJustice #fakeLaw ramps up fraudulent electoral war (and it absolutely is a whitenationalist authoritarian #classWar) against the Public & its vast political middle -- along with our personal data security -- leveraging persistent, demonstrably phony #fakeVoterfraud claims, through politicized, retaliatory weaponization of the US Department Of Justice. Put the brakes on this shit.

A quarter of U.S. Buy-Now-Pay-Later users are now financing groceries with this scam, up 14% from last year.

41% of those surveyed said they made at least 1 late payment on those loans.
