    Doing the math, if you took the wealth of the top 10 people and divided it up among the world’s population, everyone would get 153 dollars.

      So potentially life-changing amounts of wealth for the vast majority of humanity that doesn’t live in a first world country, and a nice bump for those who do. Sounds like a good thing then.

        Yeah, for most of us on this website, that amount isn’t life changing, but for a vast part of people on this planet, it would be highly significant.
        For me, I read that comment as being sort of a counter-argument, but in my view, it only goes to show how faulty things are.
