S1E13 The World's First Trillionaire and the 553,000 Homeless

Jeff Bezos is on track to be worth more than one trillion dollars by the year 2026. That's one trillion. With a capital "T". Meanwhile, the United States' homeless population hits 553,000. The top 1/10 of 1% now own more wealth than the bottom 90%. This is not the product of Jeff Bezos' "genius" or the "laziness" of the homeless. It is the product of a system that permissively allows for this to happen.   ©2020 Commoner Public Radio Network.
