Bump.

Pretty sad read, but everyone should read it. We need to start thinking of solutions. We shouldn't live in a world where tens of millions of people in the wealthiest country in history are in abject poverty, while some large corporations that provide nothing of value are raking in billions of dollars.

I'm all for capitalism but there's gotta be some kind of change here. This is not sustainable. :/

The current system is not capitalism. Well, maybe you could call it crony capitalism. The government in our country bails out banks, subsidizes private companies, gives tax breaks to certain companies, regulates too much for small businesses to keep up with, etc. The economy/market in the US is very much manipulated by the government, giving "the elite" an edge over everyone else.
