Is this figure accurate? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world [S] 84 points 2 years ago (3 children) No. It's an exaggeration. But the truth is still obscene: A 2021 Oxfam report found that collectively, the 10 richest men in the world owned more than the combined wealth of the bottom 3.1 billion people, almost half of the entire world population. Their combined wealth doubled during the pandemic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 years ago (3 children) I do not understand why not a single politician has talked about THIS. Not in the US, not in Europe, I don't hear any politicians about this. If they do, they're whispering because this should be top 5 news next to climate change every day. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago Bernie Sanders has entered the chat permalink fedilink source parent [–] Branch_Ranch@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago Bernie Sanders says this on a regular basis! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I do not understand why not a single politician has talked about THIS.
