1. Aumento Exponencial de la Riqueza de los Multimillonarios.
Numerosos comentarios destacan el crecimiento desproporcionado de la fortuna de los multimillonarios durante la pandemia, contrastando con la situación económica de la población general.
- I think another pandemic is exactly what they want. Who benefitted the most during covid? while most people got shafted, the billionaires quadrupled their wealth.
- During the pandemic, the five richest men doubled their wealth in just two years, while nearly five billion people became poorer.
- Reminds me of how billionaires increased their wealth by 1.7 trillion during the pandemic, which was just about exactly the amount of wealth the rest of us lost.
- The richest americans became 40 richer during the pandemic the 400 richest americans added 4.5tn to their wealth,a 40 rise, even as the pandemic shuttered large parts of the us!
- From march 2020 to october 2021, 745 u.s. Billionaires saw their combined wealth skyrocket by 2.1 trilliona 70 jumpwhile the pandemic hit millions of everyday americans hard.
2. Sufrimiento Generalizado y Aumento de la Pobreza.
Mientras la élite acumulaba fortunas, la mayoría de la población experimentó un deterioro en sus condiciones de vida, con un aumento significativo de la pobreza y la precariedad.
- 160m more people forced into poverty.
- The pandemic made the rich very very rich and the poor very very poor.
- While billionaires wealth rose, 165 million people fell into poverty.
- In 2020 when the pandemic hit, the top 1 saw their income rocket up as everyone elses fell.
- During the pandemic, the ten richest men in the world doubled their fortunes. At the same time almost half of lower income households had trouble paying bills, and many had to dip into retirement savings, borrow from friends or family, or seek assistance from charities and government programs.
3. La Pandemia como Oportunidad para el "Capitalismo de Desastre".
Muchos usuarios perciben la pandemia no como una crisis fortuita, sino como una oportunidad deliberadamente explotada por los capitalistas para su propio beneficio, utilizando el concepto de "capitalismo de desastre".
- Billionaires used the pandemic as their disaster capitalism opportunity to get richer.
- The pandemic was a thresh hold point. I even said what a perfect time for peeps to take advantage. And they did.
- The pandemic wasnt a crisis for billionaires it was a business model. While the world buried its dead, they buried the evidence under piles of cash.
- Disaster capitalism made the super rich richer in the pandemic. And it will do so this time. Whilst poor people die.
- The covid pandemic presented a big opportunity for sociopathic oligarchs by demonstrating again how mass death leads to record concentration of capital while also providing a population susceptible to their control to make it happen repeatedly.
4. Indiferencia y Desconexión de la Élite.
Se observa una profunda desconexión entre la realidad de los multimillonarios y la del resto de la sociedad, con una aparente falta de preocupación por el bienestar colectivo.
- Unfortunately, the empathy gap between the bourgeoisie and the working class has become widened by the pandemic, just as the wealth gap widened.
- The wealthy are certain they can weather any storm and likely even profit from it.
- The billionaires are why too many people think the pandemic is over. Meanwhile theyve been trying to launch themselves off the planet and are building underground bunkers.
- I dont think enough rich people feared for their lives during the pandemic and now we are paying for it.
- The rich will absolutely stay. I said this during the pandemic when everyone was hand-wringing about the rich leaving nyc. Truth is this wealthy people need the narcissistic feedback loop of parading their wealth in front of each other, in very close quarters.
5. Temor a Futuras Pandemias Impulsadas por el Lucro.
La experiencia de la pandemia de COVID-19 ha generado la preocupación de que los beneficios obtenidos por los ricos puedan incentivar la aparición o la explotación de futuras crisis sanitarias.
- I got the sinking feeling that wed have more pandemics because of this.
- Do they want to start another pandemic? because millionaires made so much profits while we were sick or dying.
- Do you ever get the feeling that the rich saw the amazing transfer of wealth in their direction due to covid and thought another pandemic would be nice?
- The greatest recentn modern explosion in wealth and wealth disparity weve seen happened during the covid-19 pandemic. Oligarchs and billionaires did not see that as something to avoid again, but as an unexpected blueprint.
- Seems like the billionaires liked how much they made during the pandemic and are creating the same conditions to profit again.
6. Llamados a la Acción y Críticas al Sistema.
Ante la creciente desigualdad, surgen voces que demandan cambios estructurales, como impuestos a la riqueza y una reevaluación del sistema capitalista.
- The pandemic made the rich very very rich and the poor very very poor. Wealth taxes are no longer an option but a means of survival.
- Until my throat goes hoarse from screaming this the greatest recentn modern explosion in wealth and wealth disparity weve seen happened during the covid-19 pandemic.
- The pandemic showed the billionaire class one main thing and thats that they can take literally everything in the world and nobody will stop them.
- The billionaires are potentially as dangerous as any pandemic. They will destroy our health and safety. Just to reach that next status of wealth.
- The next time theres a pandemic, all the billionaires who enabled this should have their assets confiscated to fight it.
