8. The GOP and chairman Powell of the Federal reserve.

Their Reagan-economics agenda of deregulation, capitalize and monetize healthcare, utilities, and our commons while allowing bundling of mortgages(housing) has caused the greatest inequality and instability in our history.

When everything is a bet in a market, that the large monopolies and billionaires are allowed to short or buy, they fix the market they can control with their wealth, which in returns controls all of us.

Powell should not be raising interest rates, that only hurts the less fortunate while giving more wealth to those who already have it.

The inflation in commodities is greed at the corporate level.

Powell needs to go. His policies are antiquated and actually aid the minority wealth over the majority population.
