WORLD WORLDWIDE US USA - care2PETITIONS - People are struggling to afford food while the world's richest men are about to be trillionaires
This kind of wealth is gratuitous.
In The Next Decade, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg Will Become the World's First Trillionaires While Many Struggle For Basic Needs Like Food and Shelter
Life has never felt more expensive, with inflation driving up costs for everything from groceries to housing. Yet, despite this economic strain, the ultra-wealthy continue to amass enormous fortunes. In fact, wealth inequality in the United States is out of control, with the top 1% of households holding nearly 31% of all wealth while the bottom 50% hold just 2.6%.
Here's a gut-wrenching metaphor to put a trillion dollars into perspective: 1 million seconds is about 11 days. 1 billion seconds is about 31 years. 1 trillion seconds is over 31,688 years.
This kind of wealth is shameful, especially when so many Americans struggle to meet basic needs. It also means increasing power in the hands of a few, affecting everything from business to politics. These ultra-wealthy individuals are already influencing decisions that harm the public good. It's time for them to pay their fair share.
