We live in a dynastic oligarchy made up of some 47 super rich kings and some 130 billionaire princes who rule for the most part and own the main stream news media. The June 2020 homeless count found 66,400 people living on the streets, in a shelter, or in their cars and in LA, up 12.7 percent.
The richest one tenth of one percent of Americans own 17% of stocks
The richest 1% own 50% of stocks
The bottom 50% own 0.7% of stocks
From 1979 to 2019:
• wages for the top 0.1% grew more than twice as fastThe top 1.0% saw their wages grow by 160.3%; and
• In contrast, those in the bottom 90% had annual wages grow by 26.0% .
If worker compensation had kept up with productivity gains since 1968, the current minimum wage would be more than $24.00 an hour.
There is nothing US or Canadian governments can due to stop global warming. We are watching the end of industrial civilization.

April 18, 2021: The period from 2000 to 2018 was the driest 19-year stretch the southwestern United States has experienced since the 1500s, according to an analysis of tree ring data published in the journal Science in 2020. The scientists also found that the human-caused climate crisis can be blamed for nearly half of the drought's severity.
Another study by US Geological Survey scientists published in 2020 found that the Colorado River's flow has declined by about 20% over the last century and that over half of that decline can be attributed to warming temperatures across the basin. Most of the river's flow comes from snow that falls high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and southern Wyoming, said Chris Milly, a research hydrologist with the US Geological Survey and a co-author of the study.
Warming temperatures are leading to a decline in snowfall and an earlier snowmelt. But as the snow melts earlier and leaves behind bare ground, more heat energy from the sun is absorbed by the exposed soil. The warmer ground leads to more evaporation, which means less runoff from melting snow ends up in the river.
After an exceptionally hot and dry 2020, precipitation has continued to lag well below normal for much of the basin. Soil moisture levels across the region are also among the lowest on record.
The effects of those water cuts will be felt most acutely on farms in central Arizona, due to their lower priority status in a complex tier system used to determine who loses water first in the event of a shortage.
As a megadrought persists, new projections show a key Colorado River reservoir could sink to a record low later this year (msn.com)
