10 years ago, Occupy Wall Street decried income inequality following the global financial crisis that rocked homeowners across the US.

Today, Wall Street still holds sway in Washington and corporations are paying pennies in taxes.

On the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, Insider spoke with a host of Occupy participants and observers of the movement: the original organizers, city officials, Wall Street traders, and lawyers on both sides of the battle.

Most of those we spoke with acknowledged that Occupy sparked a global conversation about wealth inequality that continues to this day. But, the wealth gap has widened, raising questions about the movement’s success.

We visited three marijuana companies across the US to see why cannabis industry regulations are so tough to follow and how they're keeping entire communities out of the growing industry.
Since marijuana is still illegal on the federal level, every state has free rein on how to regulate it. Some states may require you to have $250,000 cash on hand, which begins to immediately lock out whole communities from starting marijuana companies. businessinsider.com/marijuana-lega… Photo depicting different c...
Will and Adriana wanted to start a farm in California. But there, a license to grow can cost almost $80,000, with an $8,000 application fee. That's a lot more than a liquor license in California, which can cost just over $15,000 max.

When it comes to salaries, you make your best guess of how much to ask for, based on the few tidbits about pay ranges that you've been able to glean from friends, co-workers, and job apps, and then you negotiate in the dark.

businessinsider.com/pay-transparen…
It's a system of secrecy that benefits employers.

But that's all about to change. A growing number of states are enacting measures known as "pay transparency," which force companies to disclose their compensation levels.

In the five years since “Hillbilly Elegy,” a lot has changed for JD Vance.

He is now running for Senate as a savior of the Rust Belt. But Insiders and experts say that reputation is unearned. 👇
businessinsider.com/jd-vance-ventu…
Aside from running in one of the nation’s highest profile Senate primaries, central to his story are two things he boasted about not being: a successful businessman and a nonprofit founder.
businessinsider.com/jd-vance-ventu…
After moving back to Ohio in 2017, Vance founded Our Ohio Renewal, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting the opioid epidemic.

He’s also raised $93 million to launch Narya Capital, a venture-capital firm focused on startups in the Midwest.
