It is time we classified #extremewealth as a mental illness. Who normal could hoard resources to such an extent knowing millions are in need? Fine to enjoy the finer things in life but give the rest away - build schools, hospitals, feed kids, stop climate change, save species or pay living artists.
💰How much is too much?
The top 10 wealthiest people in the world now own more than the poorest 3 billion combined, and the average billionaire’s carbon footprint is 1 million times that of the average person.

How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from Stephen Cushion.
