99%

99% of us reading this belong to the working class, the class that is perpetually working just to keep the bills in check, and no matter how many things we own, we’re always in fear of not being able to keep up, or become homeless if we don’t own a property. The looming fear of homelessness keeps us in check, working, and we reflect this fear on the homeless instead of the top 1% that owns 43% of the world’s total wealth.

We’re living no better than neanderthals, fearing our lives, instead of woolly mammoths, we fear financial insecurity, impending mortgage defaults and student loans we took that we cannot afford. On top of all these, the medias are constantly inventing ways to keep us distracted from our conditions, deep in topics that are engaging and emotional, yet grant no improvements to our financial situations which is the core of all the insecurities and problems.

All of these have to change.
