Did you know that the holders of capital, the extracting ruling class, the ones responsible for climate change and growing wealth imbalances, they track whether we are likely to revolt or not?

"These class revolts can ignite like bushfires, shifting with the political winds."

In this article, Sweden is showing warning signs of the next class revolt, and it is making them nervous. They want capitalism, but not if it tips the balances too much and makes us mad about it.:

Then today seeing this.

Do you know how many John Wick bounties you could get for the cost of a Bezos wedding?

Recession shapes #wealthdisparity

"A K-shaped #recession (or two-stage recession), is where parts of society experiences more of a V-shaped recession, while other parts of society experience a slower more protracted L-shaped recession (the shape of the K denoting the divergence in the recovery paths)."

Republican Cult

“The malignant narcissist in #Florida is not the force driving the #RepublicanCult. He is a very useful front man for the #Billionaire autocrats that fund the #HeritageFoundation and #FederalistSociety.

Since #Reagan they have engineered policies that have driven the increase in #WealthDisparity in this country and are behind trickle down economics and the drive for less government regulation
