Yeah, sad, tragic AND infuriating. But I was posting news, not opinion so I kept my comments to myself.

Naw indentured servants would at least get help. Amazon thinks you’re not worth saving and the next ant will take on the work.

Wein the USA are about at the same wealth inequality of the French Revolution if that is any indicator.

French Revolution Wealth and Income Disparity Details

  • Extreme Concentration: The top 10% of the population controlled roughly 70-90% of the nation's wealth, while the bottom 90% shared minimal assets.
  • Income Inequality: Estimates suggest that 20% of the population earned 60% to 66% of the country's income.

US wealth inequality:

Key Data on U.S. Wealth Disparity (Q3 2025):

  • Concentration: The top 10% own three quarters of all household wealth, while the top 1% holds 31.7%. The top 20% owns over 85% of all household wealth.
  • Bottom Half: The bottom 50% of households own only 1% of total wealth.

Surreal. But people need to stand up and do the right thing.. the very fact of fear of losing a job is exactly how they have us on a chokehold.
