60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

You should watch this. The 2024 election data in swing states is way outside any normal voting pattern. Statistically impossible. youtu.be/Ru8SHK7idxs?...

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools.
