Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%

If one ever wonders why there could be two completely different experiences and viewpoints on the health of the economy. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

Missouri lawmakers raise concerns about long waits in jail for court-ordered mental health care β€’ Missouri Independent Leaders of Missouri’s public defender system urged lawmakers to take action on the number of people in jails in need of mental health care.

As of last month, 418 people were in Missouri jails waiting to be transferred to a state mental health bed, up from around 300 at this time last year.

The average wait time was 14 months, with some held longer than the maximum sentence for the crime for which they were charged. #moleg #mogov

You can always tell when you’re listening to an AI voice. I clicked on some story about Jack Black and the voice told me that Jack’s life was full of U-P-S and downs.

New Led Zeppelin documentary is really great, but it’s a cliff hanger. It ends after Led Zeppelin II. Call me crazy, but I think they could make a whole second film.

The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90%β€”And That's Made the U.S. Less Secure A report shows that a $50 trillion redistribution of income to benefit the richest has made America less healthy, resilient, and secure

"[H]ad the more equitable income distributions of the three decades following World War II (1945 through 1974) merely held steady, the aggregate annual income of Americans earning below the 90th percentile would have been $2.5 trillion higher in the year 2018 alone."

Wow.
