U.S. income inequality has reached historical "Gilded Age" levels.
Since the 1980s we have seen a steady return to concentrated economic & political power, minimal business regulations, weak labor unions, stark disparities between worker wages vs. CEO/shareholder profits, and extreme inequality.

It’s mindboggling how many people believe that workplaces without "affirmative action" are meritocracies.
Over the past 25 years field studies with matched résumés or testers show that White applicants still receive 36% more callbacks than equally qualified Blacks and 24% more than Latinos. 1/1

A Black woman named Aliyah was struggling to find work. So, she catfished herself and made a fake profile on LinkedIn named "Emily." Emily had the same qualifications as Aliyah but received 57.9% of interview invites while Aliyah received 8.9%

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.
