For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Tesla's China Operations Are Getting Crushed
While exports were up by 113% YoY, domestic sales in China were down by 45% YoY, which is bad, given that 75% of Tesla's China output is for the domestic market, where rivals are crushing Tesla.
