The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

This is why you can't
ðŸ¤¬get ahead
ðŸ¤¬Buy a new car
ðŸ¤¬Pay off your debts
ðŸ¤¬Buy a house
ðŸ¤¬Stop using credit cards for groceries
ðŸ¤¬Take a vacation

Its the billionaires
