The latest inequality report from the charity reveals that the world is now on track to have five trillionaires within a decade, a change from last year’s forecast of one trillionaire within 10 years.
The report, entitled Takers Not Makers, comes as many of the world’s political leaders, corporate executives and the super-rich travel to the Swiss ski resort of Davos for the annual World Economic Forum meeting from Monday.
Oxfam’s examination of billionaire assets also coincides with Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president. Trump is expected to include several billionaires in his team of close advisers, including the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive, Elon Musk, and to offer large-scale tax breaks to the wealthiest US citizens.
Imagine being a billionaire and wanting more wealth. In any other capacity than money, this would scream severe mental health issues. Bring back lobotomies.
It’s not money they want. It’s power. They want global domination. And this is not an exaggeration by any means.
When I grow up I want to rule the world!
What good news for us peasants! Hopefully, Daddy Trump will ensure and even more successful 2025 for our dear overlords
Can’t wait for the trickle to finally start
aaany day now
Just one more tax cut bro, I promise you! Then it can finally start 🙏
It already has, can’t you feel it? It’s that warm feeling that starts on your head and drips down.
The top birds look down and see shit. The birds at the bottom look up and see only arseholes.
You just summed up thousands of years of how hierarchy and class works and made it about bird shit.
It’s going in my cornflakes 😦
It’s going in my cornflakes 😃
Oh it will start. It will be flood not a trickle.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if this ski resort turned out to be a long dormant volcano that suddenly exploded?
I mean, I’d giggle.
Most rich people aren’t billionaires. Most people at a ski resort aren’t the problem.
(Just keep scrolling, it’s fascinating.)

Most ski resorts aren’t hosting the above, and I’d be shocked if they let normies anywhere near the place while the world’s leading sociopaths got together to toast our suffering.
I’ve scrolled to the end before. Everyone should do it at least once.
Oh I didn’t read the article. That’s on me.
Wealth of world’s billionaires grew by $2tn in 2024, report finds
Metric or imperial tons?
Dragonslayers. We need dragonslayers. 🐉 🗡️
A few dozen Luigi’s is all it’d take
The only force that creates system change is violence.
Mine grew by a little less.

the bigger the boss the better the loot.
It’s going to happen.
Biden could have changed it had he wanted to, but instead, he made sure the wealthy accrued even more power.
Ah, what is it you think he could have changed, without Congress? Like, specifically?
Jesus, there are so many ways.
He could pressured the party to take away Manchin and Sinema’s committee assignments. He could have gone after them for insider trading. He could have gone after Manchin’s daughter for price gouging insulin, etc. etc. etc.
Instead he (and his lobbyist golf buddies) accrued even more money they’ll never actually live to spend anyway and just pretended to be powerless.
He could pressured the party to take away Manchin and Sinema’s committee assignments.
This would’ve just handed control of Congress over to the Republicans due to losing their votes.
He could have gone after them for insider trading.
This would’ve required an act of Congress, as there’s no executive authority regarding such matters.
He could have gone after Manchin’s daughter for price gouging insulin,
This might be ethically justified but it’s outside the scope of the office of the president.
Peace out peasants, oh btw there’s an oligarchy. Anyway laters.
Lobbies are a legal type of corruption. CMV

With Trump in charge it will be even bigger in 2025.
The dollar stretched alongside inflation.
