The Rigged Game We're All Playing

Three billionaires own more wealth than the bottom half of America-160 million people. While this statistic might sound abstract, its reality plays out every day in emergency rooms where families choose between insulin and rent, in Amazon warehouses where workers collapse from heat exhaustion, and in towns where the local newspaper shuttered because it wasn't profitable enough. We live in the wealthiest nation in history, yet 60% of Americans can't afford a $1,000 emergency. This isn't an accident or natural market outcome. The system works exactly as designed-just not for you. When Jeff Bezos added $65 billion to his fortune during a pandemic that killed his warehouse workers, when pharmaceutical companies charge $300 for insulin that costs $10 to produce, when three Wall Street firms control $20 trillion while dictating policy to both political parties-this is capitalism functioning perfectly for those who own it. The question isn't whether you should be angry. It's whether you're angry enough to demand something different.
