The wealth gap is growing in the West. Objectively, it goes up and down following economic boom and bust cycles, so on the surface, that shouldn't be worrying. However, a combination of alarming factors is compounding and making that a more serious issue this time around.

The signs and consequences of that acceleration are everywhere: the explosion of homelessness, crime, and social unrest accompanied by the escalation of oppression, regulation, taxation, bureaucracy, and infrastructure decay. Not to mention mass illegal immigration, a threat that's now coming to a head in the streets of the EU, the UK, and the USA.

Not everyone is paying attention to the issue, mostly because it's a slow process that happens in the background. But they also aren't noticing because governments are actively trying to gaslight the population. And from those who are aware, only a few are concerned or know what this means for advanced societies, for their standard of living, and even for the relationship between nations.
