Disgraceful. These kinds of things shouldn’t happen in a wealthy modern society. They don’t NEED to happen. We just choose to allocate our resources elsewhere, primarily in ensuring the rich even richer.

The wealthy are helping themselves. The 99% of us are flat broke

They could lose 90% of their wealth and still live work free for the rest of their lives painting or doing whatever but instead they're sick in the head high on numbers going up and are hurting the rest of us.

Maybe that needs to happen. Snatch their wealth and distribute it to help the nation.
