#EconomicConcentration and the erosion of #AmericanDemocracy are the two faces of the same coin. Disappearance of small shops, smaller supermarket chains, local newspapers, small producers and farmers, and on and on.

It’s ironic that these billionaires hire people like Steve Bannon to rile up the masses against “globalists.”

#Plutocracy #EconomicConcentration #FairSocieties Billionaires are now also turning to farmland. Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner in the US. Hedge funds & real estate developers are buying up farmland. Although small landholding is not always efficient, excessive concentration hurts citizens and democracy. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/13/us/politics/farmland-values-hit-record-highs-pricing-out-farmers.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
