In 2018 we left the EU's Water Regulation body and their massive fines.
Then sewage dumping increased 20x.
Before Brexit we had some of the cleanest water in Europe.
Now it is by far the dirtiest.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

How? Real average wage is lower than in 2008, rich have got richer.
50% of the population own less than 5% of wealth; the poorest 10% own 0.02%.
Is it redistribution or trickle-down?
