Oxfam said the wealth of more than 2,200 billionaires across the globe had increased by $900bn in 2018 – or $ a day. The 12% increase in the wealth of the very richest contrasted with a fall of 11% in the wealth of the poorest half of the world’s population.
Even the staunchest capitalists are saying it's time to start cutting off some heads. Viva la revolution. ✊

How does them having money hurt you? Why are you entitled to their money? Go fuck yourself.

Give that money to the poorest 50% and you think their lives will improve? They are just going to buy drugs! That is what hobos do!

The rich get richer, at the expense of the poor. It's the trickle up effect.

Re: 26 richest people on Earth own as much as poorest 50%

you are implying the poor didn't choose to be poor. that is not the case. the billionaires are billionaires because they did the hard work involved to reach that outcome . the poor are poor because they lack determination.

what i am getting at here is anyone can be rich if they want to. it's very easy to accomplish. pick something you like and go at it. being rich is one of the easiest things a human being can possibly do for themselves living

if someone were poor in africa, i can understand the frustration. but in the western world, there are no limits on opportunity and no laws against it;

when you are born, the government does not put a cap limit on you saying you are only allowed to make this much. people can make any amount of money they want to make. it's great really.

don't want to be poor? so don't be that then.

I want my pink shirt back.
