... in three out of four countries.

The gap between rich and poor has grown in more than three-quarters of OECD countries over the past two decades, according to a new OECD report.

OECD’s Growing Unequal? finds that the economic growth of recent decades has benefitted the rich more than the poor. In some countries, such as Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway and the United States, the gap also increased between the rich and the middle-class.

Some days ago it was on german news, that charity food collection services that redistribute old food to poor people report the number of people taking benefit of this have doubled over the past 2 or 3 years. amonsgt those who came new to it are many people who before contributed food from their private households. since supermarket alos calculate more sharply they also have less old food remaining at the end of the day that they contribute to these charity organisations.

In Berlin, 1 in 5 children come to school hungry, and even more children would not get 1 hot meal idf they would not be fed in school, or in charity projects were their parents sent them, since especially at the end of the month there is little money left in their parent's purse. Social workers that I know from earlier times in berlin and Frankfurt say that these are not only families where the parents are unemploeyed, but have jobs - but get payed with ridiculously low wages.

What value has a system, when "economic competitiveness" can only be achieved with more and more parts of the population becoming the loosers from it, and only shareholders win here? when banks drive their cars into the abyss and are responsible for it all by themselves, the industrialised nations make sure that trillions of tax-money get activated immediately, and ttrying to force through a policy of global domination the US accepts wo wage a war that, adding all follow-up costs, costs that single countrx alone up to 3 trillion - but those peanuts like some hundred millions for social security needed in rich nations like germany or america, or for the education system, or estimated just 10 billion that would be needed to feed those 1 billion people in the world threatened by hunger and starvation (that numbers has grown, too, due to the growing food price speculations) - there is total failure and icy silence and serous concerns aboiut where to take that "much" money from. It is more important to pay "top" managers who caused the greatest economic crisis since decades their several millions per month.

If Aliens would observe planet Earth from outside, they must conclude that mankind is a cannibalistic species.

While the risk of civil wars in countries like Germany is growing slowly only, it is not impossble a scenario though, and economic depression in Germany has been the cause of extremism and war in germany in the past. In more exotic nations, unrest could lead to rebellion much faster, and it should be known by know that those people not having enough to eat and have poor education, tend to fall to political and religious extremists much easier. We raise hostile combatants for future wars we will fight, then.
