The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well, at least...

"Wealth inequality in America just hit its widest gap in more than 3 decades!"

"The Top 1% of U.S. earners now have more wealth than the entire middle class"

"The wealthiest 0.1% of households have gained more than 8,000 times as much wealth per household as the bottom 50% since the end of 2024."

"Who's really winning in Trump's economy? The Coastal liberal elites"

"Trump's tax and economic policies have mostly benefited fancy-pants elitists in the super-liberal Northeast and on the West Coast.
Ordinary working people in the so-called red or flyover-country states in between? Not so much."

"87% of the gains from Trumps tax cuts have accrued to the top 10% of earners, and 13% of gains flow to the bottom 90%.
These benefits are disproportionately concentrated in the Northeastern and Western regions of the U.S., particularly among workers in large, high-income cities."

Shoutout to MAGA for fighting so hard to make the rich richer! I’m sure the crumbs they sweep off the table will taste amazing!
