       The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 40 years has shifted $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. That’s $50 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of working Americans.The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

       @CatDragon @rbreich Old Feudalism worked because the Owners™️ understood fully the damage that their workers could do to their estates. Horses, dogs, carriages, silver, weapons, fireplaces, kitchens, and slop bowls all required specific care.Also, the landowners feared Hell, so they made life moderately comfortable for those who did their bidding. New Feudal-ists have yet to appreciate or understand what servants actually do, and they have no fear of Hell. The good news is, we know what we do, and we know how weak and clueless most of our bosses are. They couldn't fill a fuel tank, connect a generator, or change a tire if their lives depended on it.
