    “Nearly half of the world lives in poverty while a select few continue to gain extreme wealth and power,” said Oxfam at the time. "The amount of wealth owned by the poorest half of the world is less than the amount owned by just the 12 richest billionaires. This extreme concentration of wealth isn’t just making life less affordable for most of us, it’s creating harmful divisions. Billionaires, corporations, and politicians are taking away people’s basic ability to make choices about their futures and suppressing dissenting voices."

    I suppose better late than never.

      i’ts never in this case – the un cannot make this sort of progress because it’s controlled by those 12 billionaires … it can only say nice things like this and temporarily make some places better.
