Summary
Oxfam’s 2024 inequality report revealed a record $2 trillion increase in billionaire wealth, reaching $15 trillion, while global poverty rates remain stagnant.
The top 1% own 45% of all wealth, and 44% of people live on less than $6.85 daily.
Oxfam predicts five trillionaires within a decade, citing inheritance and cronyism as key wealth drivers. Elon Musk may become the first trillionaire by 2027.
Oxfam calls for tax reform, monopoly regulation, and income redistribution to address inequality.
Critics warn unchecked wealth concentration threatens democracy and economic fairness.
Mentally unwell hoarders
They should get therapy rite?
They take that as “hoard more money yes yes”
Every developed nation should tax these motherfuckers’ entire assets at 99%. If they want to flee with all of their money to Honduras or Haiti or something, let them enjoy that paradise.
I mean, the issue is getting all nations to agree to that and making any agreement binding because otherwise the nation that decides to tax them at 98% gets all of the tax revenue…
I’d be fine with just taking them out of the entire system. Like I said, let them live in a place like Haiti if they want to be rich and keep them out of the rest of our lives. Let them build themselves a Dracula castle in Port-au-Prince.
They’re not going to go to Haiti though, they’re going to go to Monaco or Switzerland or Ireland or The Netherlands. That’s my point, for this to work all of the “developed” nations need to agree despite having a massive financial incentive not to.
That assumes national borders mean anything to this class. They travel by private plane and go directly from the tarmac to the car. They don’t even need passports.
Well it matters for their companies.
Yeah, let’s nationalize that shit.
They couldn’t flee with everything, most of their assets are things we pay to use every day.
this should be illegal
When money is used in society as security for basic rights like a home, food and clean water, healthcare, political representation in government, then people hoarding wealth at the detriment of others are responsible and shouldn’t be surprised when those same people they oppress become violent.
This is why they are shoveling so much money into loyal robots.
Bullets don’t care about your net worth
Drones are extremely cheap.
The fact that we even have billionaires (and they should not be a thing. The notion of a trillionaire is even more fucking atrocious) is probably why donvict and elon are assuming power right now.
Without the broligarchs and their thumb heavily on media, both “legacy” and not, do you think there would be so very many stupid people willing to vote for the convicted felon?
I just wanna say that Zimbabwe had trillionaires before it was cool.
and yet, no one will stop using their services.
Even if every single person stopped using them. They would still be billionaires, and still be making money by other means.
Unfortunately I don’t have a viable alternative for some goods from Amazon without a good price increase because local sellers up the price on top of the import fees.
On the bright side, I don’t shop there often and it’s mostly limited to electronics.
Say it with me: Billionaires should not exist.
I mean, there is a way to cure billionaires and prevent trillionaires. Several cures, actually, some of which are likely more palatable than others.
Jesus Christ, I’m getting hungry! When do we eat?
Time to call the plumber, I guess.
I’ve heard Mario’s brother takes on… Social plumbing.

Public trillionaires
Trillionaires almost certainly already exist. There are many people and families who do not publicly report their net worth. Putin is a good example.
