The author’s first and main argument for these rankings is racism. Then he references the US ranking between Bulgaria and Cuba.
I maybe would have gone with criticism of opioid epidemic, education system, debt burden (student loans), too much spending on DoD and OEF/OIF, not enough infrastructure development, etc

I listed several issues that could be explored as to why gini coefficient is increasing. Its going to be multifactorial and not just rooted in demographics - which is very vague.
