Imagine 1.6% of the earth receiving nearly 50% of all sunlight, and 82% of the earth only receiving 12% of all precipitation.

If rain distribution and solar light distribution were even half as unequal as wealth distribution, our global ecosystem would collapse.

Wealth is not income. Most of the world has zero or negative wealth so these types of calculations are kind of silly.

A better comparison would be imagine 1.6% of the earth having 50% of the valuable minerals. But that’s roughly what it actually is!
