Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

We all value ‘the rule of law’.
But whose law & rules? Corporations/Rich v Masses.
The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few.
A few crumbs are thrown to pacify the masses but these are concessions and can be withdrawn.
