Wrong. That presentation obscures rising inequality with a mean skewed by extreme concentration of wealth at the top.

Stfu wealth is relative. Sure no one is starving anymore which is great but prices on housing, groceries, having and raising a child and basic human shit like that is getting out of hand relative to median income. All because of accumulation of money, monopolies, greed and self interest over others.
