From my perspective its the households which float our economies. Without all the worker ants how useful can the queen ant be?

With the majority of global assets being controlled by a tiny percentage of people, households dont have a fighting chance and never had. The same story has played out in history many times.

Human psychology is a major factor and moving forward we need many more safeguards. World leaders, economic leaders, and all who contribute to the status quo should seriously re examine their perspective and prejudices.

Yep, you are right. Its totally unfair to blame the households for this fiasco. I believe its the botching up with Macroeconomy by the policy makers thats having the ripple effect on the households and other microeconomies and not the other way around.

@Matt Nolan That makes sense but I can't help but be annoyed that we are even in this position in the first place. I was already living on a limited budget from month to month and now with the price of everything from broccoli to jewelry skyrocketing, I've had to tighten the belt even more. And I live in Canada where things aren't as bad as some places like in the US.
