Most said Trump should be prohibited from ever holding office again.History will likely remember the pandemic as the "first time since records began that inequality rose in virtually every country on earth at the same time." That's the verdict from Oxfam's covering the year 2020 — a terrible year that hit the poorest, hardest across the planet.Why it matters: The world's poorest were already in a race against time, an existential risk in the form of global climate change.
