989 people in the U.S., out of 340 million, are billionaires. 3,428 people, out of 8.3 billion, worldwide as of March 2026. That's roughly one in every 2.4 million humans. A tiny group of the human population and yet they do disproportionate damage to the planet and its people. We are destroying the Earth to create wealth for these men. It doesn't have to stay this way. We can change this. https://www.forbes.com/sites/pr/2026/03/10/forbes-40th-annual-worlds-billionaires-list-elon-musk-is-worlds-richest-person-ever-recorded/ #inequality #oligarchy #democracy

@Climatehistories@mastodon.social See how many 'extra' people there are? Only 4417 people are needed, the rest are superfluous.

@Climatehistories@mastodon.social Failing educational systems are feeding the pattern, more and more. Limit early stage core curriculum, to teaching single solve mindsets, leaves more subjugated subservience that's far more malleable than scalable behavioral ranges. This is one of the worst forms of abuse of power, in human history. Make #BehavioralScience #CoreEducation, or it's #BackIntoCaves for the 99%.
