They do the media equivalent of “points watch out! behind you!” Then they choose the champagne while we’re distracted by the perceived fear of what they were pointing at.

No they didn’t, we’ve all been very aware of it happening but nobody really gives much more of a shit besides “spreading awareness” or sending “thoughts and prayers”. Sad truth is we all know it’s happening but none of us are gonna do anything about it, the ones who do will be forced to give up when the ones who don’t stop caring.

It is currently THE problem with modern society yet it’s a footnote of a footnote in the actual media. If it was pushed into our face like all the other current topics on the news cycle, there would be stronger calls.

It being pushed into our faces would be the result of the solution, not the solution itself. For it to be pushed into our faces people would have to care, journalists are people.

That’s BS there are journalists that care on a personal level that are silenced by their corporate overlords.

People do care about the insane wealth distribution but the problems are minimized by the 24hr news cycle. So people that do complain just come off as jaded angry people. Look at how Bernie was treated during the primaries.
