, utilizing @PikettyWIL, explaining how oligarchy is always the natural end-state of a #marketeconomy, resulting in destabilization of society until #societalcollapse.

This aligns with the story in the book "The Great Leveler" from Walter Scheidel explaining that the only history-proven events to eliminate #inequality in society are uprisings and war and with "The Fourth Coming" by Neil Howe predicting a crisis moment resetting the cycle every 80 years or 4 generations.

In the end this is a society example how small differences in a system can grow to a point that the system comes out of balance resulting in a resonance disaster.
This can be prevented with the right dampening mechanism in place. The issue is that the type of capital which can create riches is changing over time (see "The Code of Capital" by @KAPistor [...]

Behind flashy gifts and live stream dances lies a cycle of exploitation. While streamers profit, many contributors face systemic poverty and algorithmic silence. It is time to see the reality of this system.

Hmm... wonder why so many people keep putting themselves in harm's way just to leave their home for good and go to another country where the natives may not even want them. Hmm... weird huh?!

That is what #climatechange is worsening - the already insane #inequality and terrible prospects in poor countries.

We have to help the migrants in better ways. A theme I explore in "A New Faith"

The US is ranked #6 in the world for extreme income inequality. That's right. You can literally count on one hand the countries that do it worse than us.

You want to know why one of the wealthiest countries in the world (when looked at in aggregate) is disintegrating before our very eyes? That's the reason.

The rumors are true: I am here, now.

Recently I've been doing free bike repair, litter picking, tech help at the South Burlington Public Library, repair cafe events, and volunteering at food banks. I trained at United Bicycle Institute, worked in bike shops, and later for technology companies. Originally from Ashland, Oregon, I live in Shelburne, Vermont.

Hi! 👋 While I've been on Mastodon for a few months, I'm new to sciences.social, so this is an #Introduction.

I study #nonprofit organizations and charitable #giving and how they are affected by public policy. I am interested in understanding giving as a form of #altruism that can be affected by things like #tax treatment of charitable gifts, #inequality, and the behaviors of the receiving charities and other #institutions.
