No. There was no sound, no celebration but as of this posting the top "earners" around the world have made as much money as most workers will the entire year.
We need to change this.

Please be more accurate with labels, don't give the haters easy marks
"an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit."
With the Governments involvement it stops being private, thus it stops being Capitalism and becomes fascist.
I'm using this properly no offense. I get the feeling you would like to paint what is happening as purely capitalistic and I would be fine defining it as oligarchical but free capitalism this is not.
fascism is a right-wing movement that is a reaction to an apparent swing to the left that is defined by
extreme nationalism, macho culture, homophobia and transphobia, having an internal (and external) enemies that are both strong and a serious danger while being weak and pathetic at the same time. Fascism often protect capitalism and privatize everything. Fascism have a call for violence and is anti-democratic. think Trump and MAGA for more modern version of fascism.
Capitalism is when the Capitalist class make their wealth of the labour of the Prolatriats, where the proletariats have to sell their labour for a wage to the capitalist in order to survive in a system of wage slavery. such a system leads to extreme wealth inequality as runt described
Quibbling that point doesn't make it true. You don't get to act like they're separate.
You can have fascism in the absence of capitalism, but rarely does capitalism exist without fascism to enable its destructive consumption.
The fascist-sympathetic corporations of Weimar Germany aided and abetted the nazis as they came to power, and some of them made a LOT of money doing so. Google IG Farben's connection to making Zyklon B (an insectside used for genocide and mass murder) and shut up.
Elon Musk says he's socialist with one mouth and reply guys alt righters with the other. This is a bad hill to die on, is all I'm saying.
Elon Musk bad, and 100% isn't a socialist, but remember Jeff Bezos is also bad, and bill gates, and all billionaires and millionaires, focusing on the extremes that are obviously bad and need to be stopped let all the lesser ones that don't spew racist, sexist, homophobic crap get away with their wealth hoarding
