Drag up a chair, I think it’s time we had another chat about where your share of the nation’s wealth has disappeared to since the 1970’s, and how you still have the power to do something about it.
I've been banging this drum with you since the dastardly 2024 election. We reordered our entire lives (including leaving the US permanently) to withhold our financial support from this crowd. It isn't easy or painless, but it is possible.
And yet too many Americans still think they can keep their heads down, ride this out, get to 2028. Convenience is their god. Too many still don't realize that the pain of going without things now will be nothing compared to the pain that's ahead if they don't. I have very left friends whose friend groups are like, "We just need to get to the midterms and all will be fine."
I appreciate how much you fight for us. Because what happens in the US winds up in the UK and increasingly is being spread elsewhere using our taxpayer dollars.
Appreciate your kind words Andra, it sometimes feels like a lonely path I tread, but it is unquestionably a worthy one. The midterms will NOT solve the problem I’m afraid, it only has the opportunity to put the brakes on at best, assuming Democrats take the House back.
This in my view will take a generation to fix and I don’t want to even think about the level of action it will take unless there is a revolution in the Democratic Party.
I like your graphic. But it’s not just multinational corporations. It’s more so organized criminals and organized intelligence agencies across the globe with strong ties to Israeli and Russian intelligence and mafia. We’re becoming a mafia state
We need to get control and clean our own house squeaky clean. We need STRONG laws and systems in place so that no one gets free reign again. Any Democrat getting seated in November better do their job and do it right. We will all be watching. We've had enough from our politicians. I hope the shit has finally hit the fan on how we MANAGE our elected going forward.
I wish you'd get on my train for what we can do. We the people and not the government, where everyone is playing the money game. I argue with you about boycotts. Yes but. Jimmy Kimmel got to us all. Mostly the issues aren't galvanizing enough to make massive dents. People usually need to belong to something smaller than "everyone" to get them engaged, and one of my advocacies is a huge Coalition for the Good, at the ready for whatever can help.
But who could call for it? It's too big for someone to raise their hand, acting like a king. Well, today I posted a methodology, and I'd like to hear what you think. I would have included you in my Committee prospects, but for this round I stuck to Americans: https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/p/marianne-williamson-part-2
I’m interested in the paragraph that says, share of America’s wealth contributed by workers … compared to corporate profits over time. Then it compares worker wages to corporate profits. I’ll try to follow this line of reasoning. Maybe compare to other countries. Again, I say the regular scolding I can do without.
They are two different things, if you look at corporate profits and wages and their respective of the national wealth, the difference has doubled, but actually that distorts the picture, because successive governments have enabled a level of creative accounting that masks actual profit.
If you compare share in comparison to executive pay then what we see is an obscene disparity that is frankly staggering. I think it fair to land on the fact that the workers share of the national wealth has halved because that’s where a number of studies land.

On the General Strike site we have almost 11 million signed up - so maybe everybody's finally getting close to ready.
That is certainly impressive, but I don’t think my solution even requires such action, let me know what you think after it drops tomorrow.
I will!

Abominable. Totally corrupt. He has stolen a billion a years. Massacred wash. Damage destructulion of democractmy. Trun
if only people would stop spending. had everyone done this in january 25 everything would be different today.
Would it help if we moved our money in mutual funds out and into CDs?
Heidi, I have to admit that in this moment in time, I am not optimistic when it comes to mutual funds.
Given the colossal level of debt and the license government has given to private equity robber Barons, I smell a heist.
However, I certainly am NOT qualified to provide investment advice.

Thanks. I also found the government websites.
