We should have a global Land Value Tax on the top 1%.
Wouldn’t the middle class be the 49% in between?

Yeah; that was my thought too. I don’t disagree that the middle class in trouble; but this post doesn’t address 49% of the population

Serves me right. It is from finance.yahoo.com.

I have up-voted the article, but now I think that the photo is AI. Somebody please tell me I didn’t just up-vote AI. I will not support any AI image knowingly, Gaia bless my fleeting incarnation of self-awareness.

- Not AI. It’s a stock photo, which often look like AI because they’re inherently pretty lifeless and make up a lot of generative AI’s training material.
- Setting aside the fact there’s no evidence of AI in this image in a vacuum, here’s the album, where you can see consistency between shots. And the image is credited to early 2016.
- While Yahoo! Finance has original articles (and I don’t know what you have against them, being so vague about it), this isn’t one of them. This is an article from the newsletter of Benzinga, an investment platform. By and large, Yahoo! News and Yahoo! Finance are news aggregators with a minority of their content being first-party.

fuck tax. if we don’t kill them they will kill us.
I used to work with unhoused populations. those people are you, and they do not have a long life expectancy. do you choose risk of death in revolution, or its certainty?
