Wealth, shown to scale

Wealth inequality in the United States is out of control. Here we visualize the issue in a unique way.

I’ve found that a lot of people, including myself, have trouble visualizing exactly how much a billion dollars is-- this is a very helpful source that not only effectively shows the vast scale of billionaires’ wealth, but explains what we could potentially do with that much money.  (I don’t own the site, all credit goes to Matt Korostoff: https://mkorostoff.github.io/)

Hi, @wokeurajoke​-- that’s an interesting contribution to a post that was originally about schools reopening, although I’m sure you have your reasons.  Your claim is correct on two points:

(1) You are correct in stating Democratic districts (not states) have higher death counts due to COVID-19.  However, the large majority of these deaths (nearly a quarter of all COVID-related deaths in the US) occurred in just 12 Democratic congressional districts, all located in New York City.  One can see how districts in NYC, a densely populated urban area, would have a higher death count than more rural districts.

In addition, while the initial surge of deaths due to COVID-19 was tragically large in Democratic congressional districts, and the death count is still larger in those urban districts than in Republican districts, the decline of deaths in Democratic congressional districts has “outpaced the national average” while Republican districts have seen significantly less decline, according to a Pew Research Center study published near the end of May.

Of course, any number of deaths is horrifying and tragic.

(2) You are absolutely correct in asserting that science is your friend.  Wear a mask, keep social distancing, and most of all, stay safe!

Kyle Rittenhouse murdered, and had intent to harm and murder.

Kyle was not stopped.

Kyle went home, and slept in his own bed.

Kyle was not arrested until way after the fact.

And we have to request his arrest and demand it?

Elijah just had an Ice Tea.

Breonna Taylor was sleeping.

Jacob Blake was checking on his children, and broke up a fight.

I could spend hours, even days, even months writing more names.

We are sick of your excuses America. Defund the police.

Because I remember disinformation being spread around the last election and I’m sure Russia will bring it back:

YOU CAN’T VOTE ONLINE.

YOU CAN’T VOTE FROM YOUR PHONE.

IN MANY STATES THERE ARE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR BALLOT.

DO NOT WEAR CAMPAIGN GEAR TO THE POLLS.

DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.

DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.

NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES.  IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.

VOTE.
