Constantly increasing disparity of wealth is akin to constantly adding a charge to one side of a capacitor. Sooner or later the dielectric in the cap will breakdown and the voltage will suddenly equalize. The major difference with the internet is increasing disparity of wealth is like placing a naked/stripped cap into brine while trying to charge it up.
The 0.01% media have an increasingly difficult job: keeping the political debate off of economic issues just as economic issues become more and more important.
The 0.01% are going to have to offer Bob $chieffer some major bonuses to ask the "tough" questions about naked nazi flag burner parades if the 0.01% don't want wealth to be leveled.
Anyone here think Bob $chieffer can still help charge up the cap this year?
