Not talking about Politics is, in itself, a political statement. Wealth shown to scale is one of those scrolling visualizations that is attempting to get across just how vast a divide there is in Wealth Inequality. I, like pretty much everyone, believe that it’s perfectly fine for people to be wealthy. That idea is not incompatible with the idea that wealthy people have, in recent decades, been tilting the political scales in their favor, enabling their wealth to grow in a way that absolutely does not “trickle down” to the average person.
