Why does this article sound so misleading on its face?
- pessimizer 5y agoBecause it contradicts a previously held belief that you have, so you feel that it has to be wrong no matter what the facts say.
- asow92 5y agoIt does not in fact contradict my beliefs, although it seems like it aims to make my beliefs sound unattractive to others.
- pumaontheprowl 5y agoBecause they don't discuss the methodology used to arrive at these numbers nor do they link to any sort of full report explaining these stats. For all we know, these numbers are complete bunk. Furthermore, these sorts of wealth-inequality stats are typically used by disingenuous media outlets as a propaganda tool to support the political goals of their ownership. Reading such articles with a large dose of skepticism is a necessity.
