    I look at things like the car market, where the top end is basically being floated by oil princes, trustfund kids and early crypto investors. Even have mass production companies like Mercedes starting to focus more on “handcrafted limited release” cars they can make 30 of, and flip at a few million each.

    The wealthy seem to seriously believe they’ve amassed enough money at the top that they can sustain the economy without anyone else participating. And unfortunately, it’s looking more and more like the data supports this belief.

      yes but the key is to not need the wealthy. issue is they bought most of our politicians like 99% of them. remove their influence and they will need to flee. tax their wealth or they can leave and leave everything they cant move else they will forfeit it. i do not care at this point need a national wealth tax on the 0.01% remove income tax completely
