Just a reminder that if we had not let inequality grow since the 1970s to where it is now, right now the bottom 90% would be getting an additional $2.5 trillion a year share of our GDP, which is about 10% of our GDP. Instead, we let $50 trillion of GDP growth go to mostly the 1% instead of to Universal Basic Income.
