To me, this pic of the heavy police presence for UH's CEO's accused killer highlights the disparity in handling cases based on the victim's status. It raises questions about equity & law enforcement's role. I'm the son of a retired LEO, but this has me ?ing who they really work for.

Millionaires' Row in #Cleveland was home to some of the nation's most powerful & influential industrialists, including Rockefeller. The concentration of wealth was unparalleled, accounts at the time compared it to the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris.

This video uses rice to show the HUGE gap between the rich and the rest of us.
This isn't just about numbers; it's about power. The ultra-rich have SO much influence, they may never care about the average person. #WealthGap #FixTheSystem

It wasn’t about the tax (that had been in place since the 1767 Townsend Revenue Act), it was about the monopoly on tea sales the Tea Act granted the British East India Company to bail them out of debt.
