A community dedicated to spreading awareness of the negative impacts of the billionaire class, especially the 250 richest people on the planet

We believe that the existence of the 0.01% comes at a cost to the rest of us, even multi-millionaires, and hope to spread awareness of this problem among the 1% (who have the most resources to affect change)

All discussion and links related to wealth inequality and related activism are welcome. We hope that this community can serve as an easily accessible repository of information about wealth inequality

Please meet disagreement with civility so we can foster productive discourse

While the law may have been passed legally, it raised serious questions about the broader implications of this type of influence. After all, not everyone has the means to lobby for such favorable treatment.

No shit. We need to stop agreeing to call this sort of thing Legal or we need to drop any affiliation between Legal and Just/Fair. The legal system is a corrupt, and therefore antiquated, system in the US.

ALSO, just because I was curious, the article doesn’t say where the sewage is going right now. Usually you wouldn’t construct houses with nowhere for the sewage to go so minimally it would be going into some sort of septic tank? Aren’t they living there already?

I assumed it was being pumped into the ocean? Pumping our shit into bodies of water has kind of been humankind's MO for a couple thousand years now.

Do you know the story around the Seine and the Paris Olympics? Human's throwing their poop in bodies of water is as old as recorded history.
