A fantastic illustration of wealth disparity in the United States. I consider myself pretty numerically savvy, but *wow* I was not prepared for this:
@emmy Yeah, I've half a mind to add autoscroll as a pull request. Except I'm pretty out of date on front-end stuff.
@varx probs worth at least opening an issue.
@emmy Good point. Done: https://github.com/MKorostoff/1-pixel-wealth/issues/59
@varx I admit I couldn't scroll to the end even...
@isagalaev The new screens stop after 123 billion, by the way.
@varx
Now consider the fact that Sweden has a higher wealth inequality than the US.
Now go look it up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_equality
Now that you believe me, consider that...
@varx ...
holy. crap.
@varx Thanks for sharing! I find this graph very well presented. And I do appreciate the arguments that comes with it (like https://github.com/MKorostoff/1-pixel-wealth/blob/master/THE_PAPER_BILLIONAIRE.md ).
@varx this was posted a while back and I forgot to bookmark it - thanks for the repost!
@varx wow that was brutal
@varx Yeah my hands do not have the endurance to scroll through that, and there's no autoscroll.
Sure does make a point tho.
