Economic inequality has reached a staggering milestone in Silicon Valley:
just nine households hold 15% of the region’s wealth, according to new research from San Jose State University.
🔥A mere 0.1% of residents hold 71% of the tech hub’s wealth.
The findings come from the 2025 “Silicon Valley Pain Index”,
a report published by SJSU’s Human Rights Institute each year since 2020. The report aims to quantify “structured inequalities” in Silicon Valley, and measures “pai…

Live in Age of Multiple Crises fed by global capitalism. No accidents: deliberate policies from IMF/WB, extraction, sacrifice of communities, over-consumption: by design peoples pushed back. It's systemic, driving inequality and climate collapse.
Those responsible have names.

Not so long ago, members of high society were fixated on trying to low-key their way out of the perils of income inequality.
Minimalism and quiet luxury were in vogue.
But in the wake of President Trump’s second election, it’s the luxe life at full volume.

Zohran Mamdani Is Right: We Shouldn’t Have Billionaires
The myths that billionaires earn, invent, or give their way to virtue don’t survive scrutiny. Billionaire wealth isn’t built on genius — it rests on public investment and ends with the power to shape law, labor, and markets.

Still more reasons to hate Silicon Valley. And billionaires.

Sharp estimates of quantum covering problems via a novel trace inequality
In this paper, we prove a novel trace inequality involving two operators. As applications, we sharpen the one-shot achievability bound on the relative entropy error in a wealth of quantum covering-type problems, such as soft covering, privacy amplification, convex splitting, quantum information decoupling, and quantum channel simulation by removing some dimension-dependent factors. Moreover, the established one-shot bounds extend to infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces as well. The pro…

It is so weird to read this and realize that the #SutherlandInstitute is so wealthy and "conservative" that they'll never acknowledge the problem is late-stage capitalism and, of course, patriarchy.
We need to eliminate the tax incentives of investment properties to make housing more affordable. We need to increase wages and decrease wealth inequality. We need t…

@… Agreed. I think it’s also a symptom of wealth inequality. Who cares what the average person wants or needs? They can’t pay anyway. Money comes from billionaires now.

Tikhonov regularized exterior penalty methods for hierarchical variational inequalities
We consider nested variational inequalities con- sisting in a (upper-level) variational inequality whose feasible set is given by the solution set of another (lower-level) variational inequality. This class of hierarchical equilibrium contains a wealth of important applications, including purely hierarchical convex bilevel optimization problems and certain multi-follower games. Working within a real Hilbert space setting, we develop a double loop prox-penalization algorithm with strong conver- …

Working Americans are set to take to the streets this Labor Day
with over 1,000 “Workers Over Billionaires” rallies and protests planned nationwide.
The mobilizations, spearheaded by the "Mayday Strong Coalition" of national, state, and local labor and community organizations,
will protest what organizers call a “billionaire agenda”
that is suppressing the labor movement,
attacking workers' rights,
and burdening families across the country…

Labor Day 2025: Workers will take to the streets to protest the billionaire agenda
Mobilizations will take place at over 1,000 "Workers Over Billionaires" rallies, demanding an end to wealth inequality amidst a deepening economic squeeze.
