where 1% own 70% of the wealth
You keep repeating that meme "wealth." What specific "wealth" does this un-specifically named and somewhat phantom 1% own?
is regulated by that 1% by controlling the forces that elect officials for their own benefit.
What specifically are these "forces" that elect officials?
And if these "forces" control the election of officials, and the 1% regulate the "forces," then the 1% regulated the election of Biden and defeat of Trump. But you praise Biden, and want to destroy Trump. If Trump is the enemy of the "forces" regulated by the evil 1%, and Biden is their friend, it would seem that you should reverse your loyalty.
But you seem to claim that the rest of the world is stagnant and in all instances without growth, though why anyone would give a #^&#^&#^&#^& about growth if the benefits to them were de minimus is the cause of the “great resignation” in this country.
Notice that this has not occurred throughout the developed world.

I "seem" to claim something in your head. I don't claim this stagnancy to which you refer. On the contrary, I see a lot of turmoil in the rest of the world, including within those with varying degrees of development. I see a lot of the same types of complaints, including resistance to lockdowns, inability to stem the spread of Covid, loss of freedoms and growth of government, inflation, dissatisfaction with immigration policies, etc.
