Hello Stackers!
It's Monday so we're back doing "Meta Music Mondays" 😉.
From before the territory existed there was just one post a week in a ~meta take over. Now each month we have a different theme and bring music from that theme.
Welcome to Femmes Fatales 3!!!
I absolutely loved doing this last year so I'm bringing it back for round 3!
It's Femmes Fatales, where we celebrate women in ~Music. So let's have those ladies of the lung, the sirens of sound, our Femmes Fatales!
Stackers, here's Avril Lavigne.

> The highest-earning 10% of Americans have increased their spending far beyond inflation. Everyone else hasn’t.
> The top 10% of earners—households making about $250,000 a year or more—are splurging on everything from vacations to designer handbags, buoyed by big gains in stocks, real estate and other assets.
Those consumers now account for 49.7% of all spending, a record in data going back to 1989, according to an analysis by Moody’s Analytics. Three decades ago, they accounted for about 36%.
All this means that economic growth is unusually reliant on rich Americans continuing to shell out. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, estimated that spending by the top 10% alone accounted for almost one-third of gross domestic product.

> Air pollution tends to get worse before it gets better, but how can we accelerate this transition?
> I’m lucky to have grown up with far cleaner air than my parents or grandparents did. In fact, air quality in the United Kingdom is now better than it was for several generations [...] For younger generations in many other countries, this is not the case. Those living in cities like Delhi, Dhaka, or Accra breathe in some of the most polluted air in their country’s history.
