The last time the rich had accumulated this much wealth, it took two world wars to wrest control from Gilded Age robber barons & their allies in a fading aristocracy.

The globe couldn't withstand a nuclear version of that past solution.

Reforms are still possible if people vote for the right candidates. Vet thoroughly before supporting anyone.

There's a lot of shams like Kyrsten Sinema and Tricia Cotham.

Vetting politicians is almost an impossible task. Santos for example part of the whole Republican iceberg, Sinema and Manchin tips of the Democrat Party. Iceberg?

Damn, apathy must be pleasant

Sorry, I refuse to pay for NYT anything, amusing when I can read Fox for free?

Get a public library card.

Most paywalled material is available for free via your public library.

Mine uses PressReader to view NYT.

Now you know why Republicans and Tories defund public libraries.

Systems of exploitation require information asymmetry. ie where the rich know and no one else does. Information is deliberately withheld to strengthen the 1%.

Know the enemy.

Will check it out, thanks again. Have not been to the library in years.

Don't need to go to a library in person. Usually.

You can obtain a library card by phone, internet, job, or school.
