Almost half of the world’s wealth is now owned by just one percent of the population.

The wealth of the one percent richest people in the world amounts to $110 trillion. That’s 65 times the total wealth of the bottom half of the world’s population.

The bottom half of the world’s population owns the same as the richest 85 people in the world.

Seven out of ten people live in countries where economic inequality has increased in the last 30 years.

The richest one percent increased their share of income in 24 out of 26 countries for which we have data between 1980 and 2012.

In the US, the wealthiest one percent captured 95 percent of post-financial crisis growth since 2009, while the bottom 90 percent became poorer

Common property does not apply. Why? Because God owns the world. He has sole ownership. We are just mere occupiers of His property.

‘morning 579,

If there was ever a candidate for evolution we know where to look.

On the other hand we would not wish to upset the balance of nature. Natural selection seems to have done you a great injustice.

OWNING/ANYTHING.IS ABOUT CONTROL..who controls\your reality/OWNS YOU.

Many of..the character.., props,/and ideas in the novel/WIZARD/OF\OZ were drawn..from Baum's LIFE/experiences...As a child,/Baum frequently had nightmares..of a scarecrow pursuing him..across a field. ..Moments before..the scarecrow's."ragged\hay fingers"..nearly gripped his neck,.it would fall apart..before..his eyes.

Decades later..as an adult,..Baum\integrated..his tormentor into the novel\as the Scarecrow.//According to\..his son Harry,/the Tin Woodman was born..from Baum's attraction to window displays...[Because he wished/to make something..captivating for the window displays,[he used an eclectic assortment..of scraps to craft a striking figure...From a wash-boiler/body/bolted stovepipes...he made arms and legs,..and..from\the bottom..of a saucepan...he made a face...Baum then/placed../a funnel hat..on the figure,..which ultimately\became/the Tin Woodman.

John D. Rockefeller...was/the nemesis..of Baum's father,[an oil baron who..declined/to purchase Standard Oil shares..in exchange for selling his own oil refinery.;[..Baum scholar Evan I. Schwartz/posited.that Rockefeller..inspired..one of the Wizard of Oz's/numerous faces...]

In one scene..the Wizard is seen-as..a "tyrannical,hairless head"...].When Rockefeller..was 54 years old,..the medical condition alopecia/caused him to lose/.\every strand of hair/on..his head, ..making people fearful/of..speaking\to him.[26]

In the early 1880s,..when Baum'splay Matches..was being performed,/a "flicker'/;[..from a kerosene lantern/sparked the rafters".. causing the Baum opera house/to be consumed by flames...[Scholar Evan I. Schwartz posited/that..this may have\inspired the Scarecrow's severest terror:..utterance;.."There is..only one thing in the world I am afraid of. A.. lighted match."

In 1890,/while Baum lived in Aberdeen..which was experiencing a drought,..he wrote a witty story/in his.."Our Landlady"..column in Aberdeen's The Saturday Pioneer./The story..was about a farmer who put-on..green goggles..to his horses,..causing them to believe that the wood-chips they were eating..were pieces of grass.

Similarly,./the Wizard/made..the people/in the Emerald City wear green goggles..so that they would believetheir city was built from emeralds...Baum,..a former salesman of china,/wrote in chapter 20 about china...that had sprung to life?

Baum/had..a sheltered\lonely/upbringing...As a child,/he was extremely bashful..and was diagnosed\with a deficient heart.[2][3] Baum spent considerable time/playing with\his imaginary friends..and reading.

in/the olden-days..if you excreted/or\even urinated/in water\you were banished/then along come some ghosts..and say/your a savage..[if you dont poop in the water closet.

and jailers..you either\fit-in/or get cast out/..next please
