[Video] I Made a Chart of U.S.Wealth Inequality and it Sucks (www.youtube.com)

This is a video by the guys behind the Comingle project, which aims to create a platform to allow people to set up a peer-to-peer basic income scheme. However, the video is not about basic income or even the Comingle project, but just an overview of how extreme the wealth distribution in the US really is.

I've seen lots of these U.S. wealth distribution charts, and I already knew it sucks. But it never hit me just how completely out of whack the thing is. Rather than explain a static chart, they actually sourced the data from the federal government and built a dynamic data exploration tool which they then use to demonstrate the sheer scale of the imbalance, with an effectiveness I had not seen before. I just had to share this.
