We are still living in a caste system, we just feel to special to actually realize it.

Sounds fair to me 😊

Americans. How come you elected Trump and Biden and didn't give this guy a shot at the top job? He speaks a lot of sense. A lot.

This is just sickening.

Again. Trump. The number one employee of immigrants in our country.

Right that's it....I'm lazy. We work long hours for mediocre pay so the rich could become richer by exploiting the workers but nah...we're just lazy.

If this is true, kudos to him for not being a billionaire d**k and actually being a good guy.

In the early eighties, under the Reagan administration.

The mere audacity...

Why not both ? You can't struggle to improve society if you are already struggling to survive. That's the 2 legs of the unions: one to improve every day live, the other to improve society.

Governments should and could do something about this but unfortunately they sit on their bums waiting for a pension and of course keeping an eye on their shares in said company!

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

But Not A Corporate Greed Shortage

I vote for Pinata Economics!

There are many ways to lose a war.

Babylonian law: Interest rate is fixed for all terms. Don't expect repayment too soon. Jewish law: Stoning people is OK but Don't lend money at interest. Islamic Law: Mutilation as punishment is OK but don't lend at interest. Romans: Crucifixion is fine, 8% interest not so much. Medieval Europe : no borrowing from Christians. Are we getting a theme...

What's worse is that it's not mutually exclusive

I don't know the story behind this, but I bet she didn't get a good answer. People that talk sense rarely do.

United Healthcare, say no more.

This is it exactly. They know people are struggling to survive so why pay a decent salary when you can exploit their situation and make even more money. We see it here with a lot of migrants.

While this is so very wrong, the FC5 potato was registered/patented by Pepsi for exclusive use. The law suit was dropped and Pepsi lost it's sole right to use the Indian seed. They should have offer to buy the the crop from the farmers!!

It's a wonderful, wonderful book. I read it in high school first and re-read it a few years back. If you haven't read it, I strongly suggest you do so. That book, and the photography of Dorothea Lange, perfectly encapsulate the American Great Depression.

Sorry, all I see is Trump and his trash there.

I'd watch that.

Truth!

Now this one is in fact accurate. Too many government kickbacks to wealthy people because those people can get the government things they want “for the betterment of the country”.

It's not rocket surgery...

This is soooo vain and disrespectful from a bank twitter account.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Socialism isn't a dirty word. It does not mean equal shares for all, but it does mean pooling your resources to benefit all. And it works in most places where it's really properly implemented.

Call them what they are: oligarchs.

It's time to start taking back our stolen wealth. It's time to bring the 3% to justice.

Anyone else think it's weird how the super-rich churches keep telling us that 'the meek shall inherit the earth'?

Looking at you, Elon!

Sounds like social system with extra steps.. these stories are always praised but if I say that thats just basic social security, larger group paying little each so others can survive, americans start to yell communism.

We should because, as another bp user stated, forgot who it was, use one day for chores the next for fun and the third day for lying in bed like you have some victorian wasting disease

That took a turn lol

We are? Where? I want to fight.

And even their prisons will be vastly different experiences

He's one of the hosts on the 5-4 podcast about how awful the Supreme Court has always been. All three hosts manage to be incredibly funny while diving into the court cases that keep wealth and power in the hands of the rich, keep marginalized groups marginalized, and the just generally crass and evil decisions they've handed down. Highly recommend it

Never underestimate the stupidity of conservatives.

I'm fat, lazy and brilliant. How else could I be making so much and doing so little - lol

Wow, great example. Especially since they just "borrow" money against their portfolio and never really realize the gain till they die.

3% military budget?? Seriously? OMG. If just half of that money was used for free healthcare the USA would be the coolest country on the planet!

I’m convinced most people don’t know what socialism means. Socialism ain’t Communism. A Capitalist society filled with some socialist policies is always amazing. The only time socialism is bad is when it devolves into Communism. Communism has never worked, but Capitalist societies with plenty of socialist policies rule.

this sounds so obvious I don't undersrtand why people don't do it !

I take it Fox news is bad news in the US? 🤦‍♀️sorry for the accidental pun, i just cringed

I remember my boyfriend's last employer made a 300% above-target profit and growth increase in one year (while he, along with others, was working 12 hours a day and received a daily sneer from their boss). Their reward was a one-time bonus of 750 euros, that they would only receive if they weren't sick too often.
