#wealthgap

This picture is an absurdly good example of the difference between acceptable and unacceptable levels of wealth accumulation. One can realistically use all of the house on the left, especially with family there. On the right, we see a gigantic waste of space, resources and money, the majority of which will likely rarely be touched by anyone save the cleaners.

For all of the racial, gender, & sexual reckonings that America has undergone over the past decade -yet to confront the blindness & stigma around class. When ppl struggle to understand the backlash agst elite U's/Dems’ loss of working-class voters/more Americans are turning away from MSM -why:

American is suffering from a #wealthgap, it's class apartheid. Our systems: EDU/HOU/electing officials: dominated & managed by the "comfort class" -they have FIN SECURITY.

The Atlantic · What the Comfort Class Doesn’t GetBy Xochitl Gonzalez

Four years from today, the #USA will have been weakened economically, socially, and diplomatically. We will be the laughingstock of civilized countries, who will be shocked at how far, and how fast, we’ve fallen.

American influence in world affairs will have virtually disappeared.

#Hate crimes will be at record levels. The #wealthGap between the 1% and the rest of us will have skyrocketed, as will the national debt and the trade deficit.

The world’s population of displaced people will have grown by tens of millions, as #Republicans slap one another on the back to congratulate themselves on having denied refuge to the poor, the hungry, the huddled masses yearning to be free.

At home, #women’s #healthcare will lie in tatters. The number of unwanted children and maternal deaths will rival those of the most backwards nations on Earth. Millions of citizens will be without #healthinsurance.

American children and adults will be dying in record numbers from previously eradicated diseases.
