    You can really see it in the vacation economy. All the vacation spots have been catering to the wealthy. For example Vegas tourism is down, but profits are up. They don’t care if the average person comes, they want the few wealthy people that will ultimately spend more. It really sucks and I wonder how long this gilded age will last.

        Yeah, I truly believe that now. Back in 2016 I thought we could avoid that with a Bernie type. Now I fear we’re too far gone and need a revolution.
