Usually I don't mess with politics on social platforms, for various reasons.

But I think that this is really interesting, and a bit beyond politics, too:

According to Forbes, in 2006, there were 700 billionaires in the World, with a total wealth of 3 TRILLION dollars.

In 2018, after a world economic crisis, there are 2200 billionaires, with 9.1 TRILLION dollars.

Can you grasp it? I can't realize the amount of money, I can't understand how it happened, I can't understand why there are still people struggling to survive, homeless, with no education and healthcare, when just a small fraction of these TRILLIONS can take care of that.

Check out the video (referring to Amazon & Jeff Bezos mostly) and a big thank you to cryplectibles@cryplectibles for mentioning it:
