Massive wealth inequality is now a feature, not a bug, of a system in which economic injustice has become deeply entrenched. commondreams.org/news/billio…

Muhammad Yunus is a great man who has done so much to help so many.
The vendetta against him is unjust and cruel.
Financial Times article titled “In Dhaka, a Prime Minister’s ‘vendetta’ is shaping politics” outlines the unfair attacks on Noble Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus by the Bangladesh Prime Minister. protectyunus.wordpress.com/2…

Shocking I tell you just shocking.
A Kansas City Fed report released today finds that corporate price markups accounted for over half of 2021's inflation. Markups grew by 3.4%, amounting to 58% of total inflation. The same year, U.S. corporate profits surged to their highest level since 1950.

We can't let this become normalized.
We can't give in to outrage fatigue.
There is no reason in the world why this happens so regularly in the US and in no other advanced democracy in the world.
Policing in the US must be reformed.

Exactly. The gas stoves.
Curious. Is there a correlative for men to the "pearl clutching" thing used on women?

That was when unfettered capitalism hadn’t yet completely overwhelmed public ethics.
When Jonas Salk invented the polio vaccine, he refused to patent it. That decision cost him an estimated $7 billion.
When Stéphane Bancel, Moderna's CEO, got taxpayer funding for the COVID vaccine he became a billionaire overnight and is now worth $6.2 billion.
End this greed.
