Because they’re junk food.
I don’t eat junk food.
Hahaha. “Policymakers” created the system that leads to this inequality, and they benefit from it. It’s like asking swingers to promote chastity.
Hey, now. That’s not fair. The rich purchased these policymakers fair and square. They are bought and paid for, so they can do what they please with them, thank you very much.
The financial system is self-reinforcing, it was created by politicians so that they could do debt financed popular things, then the banks and rich could exploit that system for their own benefit and in turn fund politicians who keep the system running.
Ahhh, yes “Policy Makers”, AKA “They”, aka “Someone”, … those guys.
Policies and Government regulations, decision making, ungh, it’s so nebulous getting to something actually measurable and effective.
I’m so checked out…
Don’t eat the rich! You don’t know where they’ve been!
Compost them instead. Better yields that way.
Just redistribute their wealth and make them work normal jobs like the rest of us.
That’d be a fate worse than death, for them.
And for us. The global economy and supply chain took a mere vacation during covid, and we’re still paying the price. If you’re into that, may the odds be in your favor…
And yet the rich got richer. Not just unscathed…they got out better.
They should suffer too.
But their wealths will be redistributed, so it’ll sting a little bit less for everyone else!
