2. American billionaires are 33% richer than they were at the start of the pandemic
In 2020, the US experienced the worst economic growth since World War II. Much of the country felt this burden, especially marginalized groups, but the top 1% did not struggle. Instead, they became significantly richer.

This is possible because, for decades, the system has been rigged in favor of the rich. Labor laws, CEO compensation, the privatization of public assets, and much more are skewed toward making the rich richer. This leaves little protection and support for the average person, putting them in a vulnerable position.

Yes. one of which is that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a storm, in the form of a world economic recession. Although the rich also feel the same way, the poor, workers and women are the most vulnerable and most comfortable groups. The Covid-19 pandemic and this has become a marker, a turning point, exposing increasing economic tensions between groups.

The rich were still able to survive the pandemic crisis at that time, but if you look at India's death rate due to lockdowns and the government was unable to cope with finances to support economic needs, can you still say that rich people feel the same way? In fact, very rich people can survive in these conditions and can still experience optimal health services. In the post-pandemic economy, the rich can continue their lives because their financial stocks are still abundant, but the poor who have managed to survive only start over from zero.

Ive seen in the news that most of those rich people can still be catered to in the hospital, while for poor people, the hospital will just say to find another hospital as they are full, which they can really do, and I can't imagine the poor beg for food at that time as they can't go outside to work and the government is not giving them rations, while the rich people are just saying they are getting bored and want to go on vacation.

What's surprising? We all know that in today's society, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, so it will not be a surprise if the rich are always favored over the poor in all circumstances. There will be no fairness, whoever comes first will have priority, whoever comes later will enjoy the benefits later. Even us, if we had money in that situation, we would spend more to get better care. But because we are not as rich as those rich people, we feel that society is not fair.
