This article from @pluralistic on is full of important and horrifying info. I could have highlighted so many parts, but this really hit me:

"We are living in the age of the monopoly. In the 1930s, the top 0.1% of US companies accounted for less than half of America’s GDP. Today, it’s 90%. And it’s accelerating, with global mergers climbing from 2,676 in 1985 to 62,000 in 2021."
