    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.

      Poor defined as $10k-100k is pretty…odd? I don’t know that I’d define people making $100k as poor.
