"The analysis also found billionaires were paid $2,500 a second in dividends in 2025, according to the investment portfolios of more than 1,000 billionaires. For every two hours in the 2025, the average billionaire received more in dividends than the average worker earned in annual pay." ~ Michael Sainato #MayDay #EconomicElites #billionaires #workers #economy /2 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/may/01/ceo-pay-workers-minimum-wages

"Brent crude starts the day at $110 a barrel, near its wartime high. Gas has surged more than 40 cents just this week here in the US, and starts the day at $4.41 a gallon." ~ Simon Rosenberg #MayDay #EconomicElites #billionaires #workers #economy #Trump #Republicans #Iran #war #StraitofHormuz #oil #gas #BrentCrude /3 https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/gas-surges-40-cents-this-week-extremist

@wdlindsy this doesn't compute well : there are 3600 seconds in an hour, which would make 18 Millions in 2 hours... which is *much more* than the average worker annual pay... 🤑 🤑🤑 2,500$ per minute (not second) would make 300,000 for 2 hours 🤔
