- smcl 4y agoSlip of the tongue (fingers?) when I was typing - the original figures ch4se gave were for income inequality so I stuck with that.
- mmmmmbop 4y agoSure, that makes sense. It's just worth noting that the U.S. are not an outlier amongst developed nations when looking at wealth inequality -- which, IMO, is the much more important metric.
- ch4s3 4y agoYes, that's part of my criticism for gini.
