A community dedicated to spreading awareness of the negative impacts of the billionaire class, especially the 250 richest people on the planet

We believe that the existence of the 0.01% comes at a cost to the rest of us, even multi-millionaires, and hope to spread awareness of this problem among the 1% (who have the most resources to affect change)

All discussion and links related to wealth inequality and related activism are welcome. We hope that this community can serve as an easily accessible repository of information about wealth inequality

Please meet disagreement with civility so we can foster productive discourse

Based on some research I was doing last night, the consumer price index also spiked at around that same exact time, and exponentially took off from there. Years prior it was far more stable. It looked a lot like the graph on this post, but with far less growth before 1973.

I would love to know more about that particular time as well, if anyone has better insight
