Nearly 40% of newly minted billionaires this year received their wealth through inheritance.
This is the highest figure since UBS started releasing its annual billionaire wealth report in 2015.

Q: “In the interests of affordability with this aid package, I assume that's something you want consumers to see before midterms next year. How quickly will that affect the prices at the grocery store?”
Trump: “Well, I think the prices are going to be going down already. The prices are way down.”

On SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th, I'm attending May Day Strong's event, “Yoga & Social Justice Virtual Closing Circle for #WorkersOverBillionaires” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/workingfamil...
Yoga & Social Justice Virtual Closing Circle for #WorkersOverBillionaires · Working Families Party
Labor Day marks a week of nationwide action to demand a country that puts Workers Over Billionaires. Across the U.S., people are rising up for justice, equity, and dignity for all — not just a privileged few. On Sunday, September 7 at 2PM MT, join us for a Yoga & Social Justice Virtual Closing Circle: a practice to ground after a week of action, reaffirm commitments, and explore how we can continue building justice in our communities. This session includes: -- Breathwork and reflection to integrate the week’s energy -- Accessible-to-most-bodies movement designed for varied environments -- Space to connect the principles of yoga with the ongoing fight for justice Accessibility & Timing Notes: We’ll begin with grounding and context to help everyone settle in together. If the Zoom room fills, if you joining more than 20 minutes late, or run into repeated tech issues, you can use the livestream link to experience the full session from the start. Unlisted livestream link will be provided to registered participants closer to the event day & time. This gathering is part of May Day Strong’s Labor Day actions and offers a space to integrate, replenish, and strengthen our resolve for the work ahead. We will explore the connection between yoga & social justice, and brainstorm actions we can continue to take locally, individually, and collectively to: 1. Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government. 2. Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people. 3. Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all. 4. Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities. 5. Invest in people not wars. *Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. For virtual events, you don't have to agree with everything or everyone, but we do expect you to be respectful. Hosted by Bonnie (they/she), Yoga Connexus, LLC – https://YogaConnexus.com
