This picture is an absurdly good example of the difference between acceptable and unacceptable levels of wealth accumulation. One can realistically use all of the house on the left, especially with family there. On the right, we see a gigantic waste of space, resources and money, the majority of which will likely rarely be touched by anyone save the cleaners.

(Pic taken from Reddit)

An image of two properties taken from above, featuring houses. The one on the left is big, but reasonably so, probably around 5000 square feet. On the right, a mansion/estate that is more like 50,000 square feet. Guest houses, gardens, tennis courts. Enough space to fit multiple families without them ever even seeing each other.

Hurrah! The King's personal fortune increased by 2000% in the last year. At the same time emergency food bank parcels increased by 37%. Land of hope and glory... but only for a small number of already excessively wealthy.

#TaxtheWealthy. Especially if a bunch of them are not only OK with it but are actively ASKING for it to be done!

New study: Richest 10% drive 2/3 of climate warming, largely via investments, not just buying stuff. Your recycling pales in comparison. True climate action must address wealth concentration.

Guess Who's Driving Global Warming? The Rich, Say Scientists.

🌍💸 Oh, look, a groundbreaking revelation: the rich are ruining the planet. Who would've thought the top 10% were behind climate change, not just with their private jets but those pesky investments too. 🎩🔥 Guess the rest of us should just stop breathing to balance it out! 🌱😆

🎩 Ah, the riveting thesis that poverty is a magnet for perverts! 🤦‍♂️ Who knew a plank with nails was the real hero of the story? 🙄 In a twist of “socio-economic insight,” we discover that the wealthy only have champagne problems while the rest fend off creeps with medieval weaponry. 🍾🔨

Nothing to see here. Millennials can’t afford homes because they bought too much avocado toast.

The “economy” is a clown show and Boomer climbed in to buy a home. Now it’s all coming crashing down. #useconomy #housing #wealthgap

Oui oui, c'est sur Instagram (boooouuuhh!👎)
Mais c'est quand même un bon point à partager à propos de #KatyPerry et son #VoyageDansLEspace avec #BlueOrigin de #JeffBezos et l' #EcartDeRichesse ( #WealthGap ) Pendant que plus de gens font la queue dans des banques alimentaires que jamais, ces gens se paient 15 minutes de temps dans l'espace à coup de dizaines de millions.

The 1944 GI Bill helped build the middle class—but Black vets were denied its benefits. Policy-driven racism still shapes the wealth gap today.

George Monbiot has seen it all, or most of it. His research is thorough; his conclusions are sound. Why aren't we listening?

"The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor. However frantically centrist parties avoid the issue, there is no other way."

For all of the racial, gender, & sexual reckonings that America has undergone over the past decade -yet to confront the blindness & stigma around class. When ppl struggle to understand the backlash agst elite U's/Dems’ loss of working-class voters/more Americans are turning away from MSM -why:

American is suffering from a #wealthgap, it's class apartheid. Our systems: EDU/HOU/electing officials: dominated & managed by the "comfort class" -they have FIN SECURITY.
