I saw Graham Platner say this thing yesterday that I thought was so smart. You know, in 1990 there were fewer than 100 billionaires and now there's almost 1,000 billionaires, 10 times more. But We don't have 10 times more affordable housing. We don't have 10 times more hospitals or healthcare institutions in our neighborhood. We don't have 10 times as much affordable childcare. The money was dragged upwards by private equity investors and corporate CEOs and tech billionaires. (08:08–08:11)
