"this will be Maryland's decade, because we are gonna focus on economics" Governor-Elect Wes Moore on how he'll end the racial wealth gap in his state

[basquebromance]

Some striking graphs from this year's World Inequality Report. First, the bottom 50% of humanity has a *smaller* share of total world income than they did in 1820 (about half). Their share declined during colonialism and remains at historic lows.

I would recommend Gov. Moore to use government policy to convince wealthy honkies to leave the state.

That would leave a bigger percentage of Poor White Trash and help to close the gap between white and black Marylanders.

Encouraging businesses to leave town could help even things out.

Look for a fresh petition from Western MD to leave that shit-hole state.

So what? What does that prove?

They have not made everyone poor.

When they do so, the graph will supposedly show a great result - income equity!

(What a stupid metric)
