The distribution of wealth in the United States is highly unequal, with a small portion of the population holding a disproportionate share of resources.

Imagine a party with 100 guests and 100 slices of pizza, divvied up according to US household wealth. "1 person gets 30 slices" and "50 people get 0.05 slices each". https://kottke.org/26/05/american-wealth-sliced-up

We’re having a pizza party with 100 guests! Let’s divvy up the slices the way wealth is divided among American households: • 1 person gets 30 slices
• 9 people get 3.7 slices each
• 40 people get 0.75 slices each
• 50 people get 0.05 slices each Dig in! But watch out for “those people” trying to steal your 0.05. https://kottke.org/26/05/american-wealth-sliced-up
