Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; itâs the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

The absurdity of the Iran war is epitomized by the Trump administrationâs decision to partially ease sanctions on Iran and Russia, allowing both countries to rake in huge profits. Russia is set to earn three times more per month from its energy resources.
