50 million people go to bed hungry every night

There are 30 vacant housing units per unhoused person

The entire houseless population could be housed for the price of one aircraft carrier

And 41% of Americans *with* houses are struggling to keep them
More than 40 percent of Americans are facing financial hardship (graph of % of Americans having difficulty paying household expenses, from 2020 to 2024) Military contractors can expect $470 billion from the bipartisan budget agreement in FY2024. The bill adopts Biden's $886 billion military spending request. Graph: Military spending on contractors + Other military spending (2008 - 2024) In 2022, CEOs were paid 344 times as much as a typical worker in contrast to 1965 when they were paid 21 times as much as a typical worker. To illustrate just how distorted CEO pay increases have gotten: In 2021, CEOs made nearly eight times as much as the top 0.1% of wage earners in the U.S. Sep 21, 2023 The dramatic increase in CEO compensation during the pandemic is remarkable. While millions lost jobs in the first year of the pandemic and suffered real wage declines due to inflation in the second year, CEOs' realized compensation jumped 30.3% between 2019 and 2021.
