And the reason is "drumroll", people like Musk. How exactly, is it that billionaires have continued to do so well for so long while the working class hasn't experienced a pay increase since the 70s?
You know pays those salaries, right? Big companies and the billionaires who chair them.
Of course, good job f'ing yourself over further, that safety net you might have had? Gone under Musk.
And there's compounding factors, money makes money, I could easily see the influx of wealth to the lower classes causing a boom of wealth we haven't seen since the 60s.
Even if you were to concentrate most of that wealth in the USA, by trickle down economics (also redistribution across national lines is difficult), that works to about 120k per individual here.
That's a Six Figure Salary for Every American who want one.
Let that sink in.
