The lockdown has been a bonanza for billionaires – spiked
Not everyone is having a bad lockdown. Yes, economies around the world have contracted at rates not seen since the Great Depression, or beyond. Yes, millions of ordinary people are being hit hard by pay freezes, pay cuts and job losses, while facing a growing tsunami of debt. But billionaires, the richest of the super-rich, have done rather well.
It’s true and it’s annoying, but I love Amazon and Prime. I’m not sure love is the word for it, but you know what I mean. I just wish it didn’t undermine our way of life so much.
