I was just trying to figure out what you’re paragraph was all about.  Let me stretch it out

The United States is a sea of multi-racial destitution. According to the analysis of SCF data by Matt Bruenig with the People’s Policy Project,

poorest 10 percent of the US population is about 54 percent white, 27 percent black, 12 percent Hispanic, and 3 percent some other group.

next most impoverished layer is 42 percent white, 32 percent black, 20 percent Hispanic, and 5 percent other.

third one up from the bottom is 53 percent white, 20 percent black, 20 percent Hispanic and 7 percent other.

When one gets to the top three deciles of wealth holders, the racial composition begins to strongly favor whites. The largest imbalance exists in the highest tier.

The racial wealth gap is primarily meaningful for elite African Americans, who are frustrated at being underrepresented where the vast majority of net worth is concentrated.

Been going down that “Changes in U.S. Family Finances from 2016 to 2019:” Makes my head spin.  Statistics definitely not my thing.  I imagine those numbers also reflect simple population demographics.  Guess what got me was simply that last sentence, it slapped me in the face got me thinking.  What’s the point you’re trying to make?

The wealth gap is meaningful to every American obsessed with the American Dream of getting ahead and striking it big and then cruising for the rest of their days (or something like that.).  Which from watching public media and advertising that’s about everyone.

I agree the scene is totally insane and upside down.  We should have never allowed mergers above a reasonable level, but this is now, multinational behemoths that already own politicians are now trying to take over the entire government.  That economy is what’s going to destroy us.

Beyond that, where are you going with this?
