1-Wealth inequality has become more rampant in modern capitalist society. The US statistic displaying 90 percent of American families having little to no assets and a combination of debt and mortgages is mortifying. Reason behind this inequality is because there is no circulation of wealth. Most of those with wealth continue to increase it and keep it to their own investments. Sharing it only with other high wealthy capitalists.

2-Society has had its clear changes in wealth for the better and worse. In modern times, this has become more than out of hand. A big example is neighborhoods and how safer places tend to have more expensive living. Such as housing, groceries and other businesses. In everyday life, I see it when I travel to BMCC and Manhattan for in-person class. Seeing prices of lunch in comparison to where I live is scary. Most times I opt to bring from home and pack a lunch or early dinner. Whenever I look around, too often I see wealthy people pass those who are begging on the streets near the subway. It has become worse since Covid and the rise of inflation.

When I travel back to the area I live, there is a huge shift. More normal and working class people are seen. Prices of food are not as mortifying but still warry to lookout for. There is also more homeless people in my area that surround the small business. Lots of liquidation places where thrift stores are too, not any well known big chains or fancy small places to shop.
