    The difference of life expectation between rich and poor is more than a decade: income inequality quite literally dictates how long somebody lives.

    You must live an unbelievably sheltered life in an extremelly isolated and limited ideas bubble and having lived a life with an extraordinarilly narrow range of life experiences if you think wealth inequality doesn’t make a difference.

      Income inequality is the difference between highest and lowest earners. This is meaningless statistic

      What matters is where the floor is, and how surmountable that difference is. Actual policy positions matter a lot more than “but this one has more”
