If you divided all the stocks issued in the US stock markets by issue number

and put them in a basket, chose one randomly,

there is an 87% chance that that specific stock belongs to someone in the top 10% of wealth in the country.

There’s either millions or billions of stocks in existence, but this is still true.

I could give you some indepth economic analysis, and behavior philosophy behind business spending, but the easiest?

Just unionize. Now. Volunteer time to talk outside work hours. Speak to local professionals like accountants and lawyers to help pro-bono with getting setup.

Talk to political offices locally, run if you can.

Talk about these issues with strangers. Print out your own corny pamphlet newspaper to educate someone willing to read.
