Study Finds It Could Take Humanity a Decade to Recover from Pandemic Costs, Except for Billionaires, Who Are Doing Great
Imagine that you were granted one wish, and that wish were that America got to watch a real-world Hollywood switcheroo involving Jeff Bezos and an Amazon warehouse worker. And now hold onto that pleasant thought so you can stomach this news: According to a new Oxfam study, the spare change that the world’s top ten billionaires picked up since March 2020 is “more than enough to prevent anyone on Earth from falling into poverty because of the virus.”
Not only has the Oxfam study found that the top 1,000 billionaires have, on average, recovered nearly all of their pre-pandemic wealth, but as has been reported endlessly, the top of the top have hoovered up tens of billions more than their previous highs. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index shows that Elon Musk’s wealth has nearly quintupled from an all-time high of $41 billion in February, to a current sum of $202 billion. Jeff Bezos has increased his wealth from a pre-pandemic high of $164 billion to $192 billion, and Bill Gates from $120 billion to $133 billion. In October, Swiss Bank attributed much of the rise in fortunes to the stock market boom.
Oxfam’s study stresses the fact that wealth inequality is disproportionately punishing Black people, women, Indigenous peoples, and marginalized populations throughout the world. At the same time, a few people, mostly white men, are profiting from those problems.
pour one out for luis (scott’s best friend) bc marvel decided to use his van as a plot device but conveniently didn’t mention his name even once 🙃
honestly pour one out for luis all day everyday bc
-he was scott’s cellmate & day 1. he said “this is my bro now” and took scott under his wing. I’m willing to bet that one of the reasons scott had a relatively easy time in prison is bc luis was constantly looking out for him
-luis got released first & his girlfriend left him, and his mom died, AND his dad got deported, but he still showed up to pick scott up from prison with a smile on his face bc he is a supportive caring best friend who puts others first
-yes he did pull scott back into crime but that is only bc he is disillusioned by the system. he knew how the system worked, and knew that it was practically impossible for ex cons to get jobs no matter what offense they committed. he only wanted to help scott in a time of financial need so he could support his daughter
-speaking of cassie, luis literally loves that little girl so much. he hangs out with her & carries around the pez dispenser that she got him for his birthday
-when scott asks him for something, he does as much as he can
-when the ex cons started their business, luis stepped up to be the manager and take care of all the boring bits. he sacrificed his time and energy so that he and his friends could legally make money
-when scott was put under house arrest and needed a place to live, they moved in together. oh my god they were ROOMATES
-even when luis was forced to take truth serum the worst thing he could say about scott was that the way he put the dishes in the dishwasher was Stupid
luis is literally the best friend and he deserves more respect in the fandom and the mcu
