inequality
Peter Turchin introduces the concept of the "wealth pump," by which the elites funnel money and resources away from the poor and up to the very top. It's an accurate description of the changes to modern society around the late 1970s and early 80s. Turchin predicts the outcome of this "wealth pump" will be violent revolution if the elites don't voluntarily turn it off on their own.

"Jezz Bezos and Elon Musk emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average human does in their entire life."

Just saw this cartoon posted on the enshittified, dying legacy blogging platform a few worthwhile writers still use. The article says the cartoon is banned on the enshittified, dying legacy social media platform still used by a few worthwhile people - and a lot more worthless ones. (Hint: it's now owned by the cartoon's subject, Cylon Musk.)
Good cartoon, imo.

The best trick the wealthy 1% have ever pulled off is to convince the politically vocal (and influential) next 20% that one day they could be super wealthy too, and so increases in tax on the current wealthy, are really increases of tax on their future wealth....
By the time the 20% realise the 1% have made sure they'll never get that wealthy a new generation is waiting to be hoodwinked!
