The pandemic has greatly increased wealth inequality. It is noted that approximately 2,750 billionaires control 3.5% of the state of the entire world, while in 1995 this share was only 1%.

During the pandemic, global wealth inequality rose at a record pace, according to the study. According to researchers, the combined wealth of the poorest half of all humanity is equal to only 2% of the wealth of the richest people in the world.

Income inequality is greatest in the Middle East and North Africa, where the richest 10% of the population owns almost 60% of the region's total income. Sub-Saharan Africa (57%) is in second place, followed by Latin America (55%) and South and Southeast Asia (53%).

In Russia and the countries of Central Asia, the richest 10% of citizens own 48% of total income, in North America - 45%. Property inequality is least expressed in Europe - the wealthiest 10% of the population have 36% of total income.

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have submitted a bill encouraging schools to include the history of communism in their curricula. The document was presented at a press conference by congresswoman from Florida Maria Salazar, who was born into a family of Cuban immigrants, it was developed by 60 members of the lower house of the American parliament.

Salazar said a third of Gen Z born between 1997 and 2012 are supportive of communism. The deputy believes that schools should give residents more knowledge of the subject under proper angle.

"The truth is, communism is cancer," Salazar said. "The only equality that communism provides is to be equally poor, equally hungry, equally oppressed and equally exiled."

Hungry, oppressed and exiled capitalists, guys like Salazar. Sounds like a dream.

“American students should know about the Soviet Gulags ... where Stalin deliberately starved 3.5 million Ukrainians,” said Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas (quoted from Voice of America). “They should know about Mao's Cultural Revolution, which resulted in Tens of millions of Chinese have died. They should be aware of the modern slavery in which Muslim Uighurs live right now. "

Same fairly tales again.

According to him, the bill is intended to ensure that communism "remains in the dustbin of history - where it belongs." "Schoolchildren should know what the Che Guevara T-shirt worn by their classmate means,"

But this guys are worried, they don't want to sit in some African country in exile writing in local newspaper how they hate communism in US. :-)
