We felt there was a need for a clear overview of global problems, interrelationships, and the necessity of the Fediverse @Mastodon -so we created it. Since the German version was well received, we have now added an English version.
The same post had hardly any reach on #instagram -Who's surprised?
What do you say, how much #democracy and how much #oligarchy is there in the world we all live in?
How does #excessivewealth threaten democracy?

"The world's five richest men have doubled their fortunes to [US]$869bn since 2020 while while the world’s poorest 60% – almost 5 billion people – have lost money." The world's billionaires' wealth has grown "three times faster than the rate of inflation."

Private Yachts as Long as Football Fields

The owner of the Jacksonville NFL football franchise had a mere 97-meter-long superyacht built a few years back. The boat recently sold for $157 million. That $157-million price tag would hardly raise an eyebrow among the billionaires that Forbes has just named as America’s 400 richest for 2023. This year’s Forbes 400 hold a combined fortune worth $4.5 trillion. They could all buy up three yachts at $150 million each and still have well over $4 trillion to spend on whatever their hearts desire.
