TIL: That the Don McLean song "Vincent" was a particular favorite of the rapper and actor Tupac Shakur. The song was played to him at the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, the hospital that he was admitted to just before he died of gunshot wounds from a drive-by shooting.

"It’s impossible to seriously fight climate change without a profound redistribution of wealth, both within countries and internationally.”

-THOMAS PIKETTY

Taxing socially and ecologically destructive wealth should be a no brainer. The urgent action needed to power the world with cheaper, cleaner renewable energy and reduce our energy use needs huge public investment, but governments in the Global North are failing to step up. Controversy over who foots the bill for climate action is happening in many countries around the world. Forcing the richest in society to pay through implementing wealth taxes is one of the clearest and most straightforward solutions to this problem. Not only could governments raise the trillions needed to act on the climate crisis, they would also help reduce wealth inequality between the richest and poorest
