Who else was expecting to open up the diagram and find a bright red box in the top left with Finance written on it? How surprising it was to see that the 1% that everyone is complaining about are faceless managers, doctors and lawyers... Naturally, I'll need to see the .1% diagram, so that the hateful Financiers are in the position they deserve.
(I'm paraphrasing some of the other comments on this topic)
- jonstjohn 15y agoExact same feeling here. Perhaps it should be 'Occupy Your Doctor's Office' rather than Wall Street.
- joe_the_user 15y agoUh but while the graph may be "full of information", other posters have made good arguments that the information it gives isn't revealing (mixing wealth and incomes, aggregating occupations in confusing ways, etc). A simple graph of the occupations of those in the top of 1% of income and the top 1% of wealth (along with the overall source of that wealth) would be more revealing for the debates that have recently raged.
- vannevar 15y agoThe Financiers are spread over several boxes, but taken together they are indeed right where we'd expect them (hated or not).
