Anaya, you point out the reality of what we're coming to. Our king will have grand parties in his castle, while the people outside who are not part of the circle of billionaires will have less and less "cake." We only need to look at the percentage of wealth controlled by 1% of our population. It's 31% and rising according to AI. The bottom 50% owns about 2.5% of wealth. Smiles!!
