You don't care in terms of looking at your own situation, sure. But as a social problem for people less fortunate then you the problem is compelling. Note that the problem is actually growing. If the gap keeps growing faster then your wage grows, it will be a problem for you too. As for your anecdotal experience about women I have to say you're wrong. No women will ever call herself a gold digger that's why they don't tell you wealth is on their priority list. The truth is, it matters a lot. See below. The content of the link kind of doesn't fit with HN, but the the evidence fits as an anecdotal counterargument to your anecdotal experience with the puppy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbYNAZxcWh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbYNAZxcWh4

So is it inequality we're debating over or just the fact that most of the world is poor? Poor people will remain poor no matter what level of inequality we have. The real thing we should be tracking is social mobility. But we can't track that because it involves more than numbers. So we track inequality instead. And don't try to say one correlates with the other. We need to understand inequality, not just measure it. One country's inequality is not the same as another country's. Which is another reason why I dislike the metric, it's all smoke, no fire. > No women will ever call herself a gold digger that's why they don't tell you wealth is on their priority list. I don't ask women what their priorities are. I infer from the choices they make concerning dating.

  >I don't ask women what their priorities are. I infer from the choices they make concerning dating. I ask my friends straight up. I would say half of them lie, and the other half are honest. A lot of it depends how close I am to them.
