"Walmart hiked prices on its Great Value brands. The result? Its net income spiked 93% to $10.5 billion towards the end of 2023. Walmart rewarded shareholders with $5.9 billion in buybacks and dividends. When I say price gouging is driving inflation, this is what I mean." -Robert Reich

O! guess what some commonalities of catastrophic collapses of entire civilizations seem to have in common, according to this collabo of historian and statisticians? -massive & increasing wealth inequality -lack of inclusion in the political process -wealthy people using their wealth to acquire other forms of power -chronic & increasing underfunding of social welfare Sound like any historical period you might be familiar with/living in?
