#WolffBites: US capitalism's decline further expands the wealth gap. 10% "haves" vs 90% "have much less"... "Premium" (pricier) seats bring profit gains to big old airlines, but cheaper seats and cheaper planes have fewer customers so their profits fall.

#WolffBites: The US job situation darkens. Why? Because gov't shutdown, troops sent to major cities, ICE deportation violence, deepening social divisions: all warn employers to NOT relocate business to the US.
#WolffBites: Nothing works better to persuade CEOs to relocate factories into the US than a President who sends troops into US cities. Conflict, protests, military occupations: all super good for business... Right?

#WolffBites: US capitalism depends on and thus serves mostly the richest 10-20%. It leaves the rest merely to struggle to get by. An economy split in that way splits its politics and culture too: Trumpism.

#WolffBites: US beef prices up over 50% since February 2020. Where's the beef? Unaffordable, that's where. Beef prices are set by beef producers who are capitalist firms maximizing their profits. The system is the problem. www.npr.org/2025/09/18/n...
Why beef prices are higher than ever (and shoppers are finally resisting)
American ranchers are raising the fewest cows in decades. Through the price increases, American shoppers have stayed loyal to their love of burgers and steaks — until now.
