theres probably very few people who own most of the business in america and maybe the world:

When the stock market tanks the poor lose: houses, retirement funds, and sometimes their lives. The rich, on the other hand, get bailed out. 84% of all stocks are owned by the Richest 10% of the population but wealth insulates you from economic downturns.

fox news now having debates on capitalism vs socialism.

richard wolff my fav economist (only because he promotes decentralized power, and worker power) debates. the 2 socialists are both very clearly in favor of workers owning their labour and managing the jobs they work in.

almost 50% of americans would now vote for a socialist president.

FOX Business’ capitalism vs. socialism town hall event part 1
theres even audience members now asking about transitioning to worker coops and taking the power away from the few executives and shareholders who own and control everything.
