>> BRIAN: It's obvious to me that there's a feedback loop involved in #wealth, which to say if you get a little bit #rich, you are very likely to get richer. It works the other way 'round with #poverty - if you get poor, you’re very likely to get poorer, so those things are not self-correcting...it doesn't work. There's not the #TrickleDownTheory that people used to believe in...that it's good for people to get rich 'cuz that money gets dispersed among poorer people so it helps them.

Ich recherchiere gerade wieder einmal, dass der „Trickle-down-Effekt“ in der Ökonomie seit langer Zeit widerlegt ist.

Ganz oben erscheint immer wieder das Buch „Warum wir uns die Reichen nicht leisten können“ vom britischen Soziologen Andrew Sayer.

Das stammt aus #2017.

Irgendwann #2025 muss man auch mal aufhören zu labern und es einfach tun ==> #taxtherich

GOING MASTO'DOWN'

For evidence, of how "#trickleDown" does not work, just look at this instance. It has been giving a voice to activists for years and yet is not able to sustain itself at a mere $40 per month.

Our long-running activism instance (UK-based but they move through Europe by boat) is having to shut down on 8 October due to no funds.
