So I was looking at the Piketti & Saez data on wealth distribution in the US. Trying to visualize the average individual net worth for each percentile of the population.
I run my plotting script but get an empty graph. After triple checking that there was no bug in my program, I realized there was none. The bars are just too thin to be displayed on my screen. See that small blue stuff at the bottom right of the picture? It's the "--" part in the following schematized version:
I figured a way to make the lines visible: consider the 99.99%-100% group as a single bin instead of dividing it further into 10 subgroups. It drastically increases the width and decreases the height of that last bar.
Daily reminder the top 0.001% is soooo rich that even the average top 0.01% guy looks incredibly poor in comparison.
I guess I'll make a post with the "readable" version of the graph.
libs and chuds admitting they hate their lives, but cling to pro-capitalist ideology out of bitter resentment alone
Imagine being so insecure in your beliefs that you tell yourself it's fine you have to do bullshit all day every day to survive, because you're too afraid to imagine just making things better tehehe

EDIT: the post is here , with clear labels
It's just so... absurd. And hard to wrap your noggin around. I can't wait til we just chop that hill down and the ground is flat like it should be.
