No. It’s an exaggeration. But the truth is still obscene:
A 2021 Oxfam report found that collectively, the 10 richest men in the world owned more than the combined wealth of the bottom 3.1 billion people, almost half of the entire world population. Their combined wealth doubled during the pandemic.
I do not understand why not a single politician has talked about THIS. Not in the US, not in Europe, I don’t hear any politicians about this. If they do, they’re whispering because this should be top 5 news next to climate change every day.
I have a question. Is this figure accurate?
No. It’s an exaggeration. But the truth is still obscene:

Bernie Sanders has entered the chat
Bernie Sanders says this on a regular basis!
At least in the US, we saw what the “left” party did to the last guy who tried it.

Well that’s fun.
Poor defined as $10k-100k is pretty…odd? I don’t know that I’d define people making $100k as poor.
It’s people who have 100k of total property, not annual salary
Sure. But I think it’s still a worthwhile evaluation. 100k is not what it used to be by any means unless you are in a low col area.
TIL I count as poor. Fuck. :'(
