visualizing $1T: www.nytimes.com/interactive/... not the best visualization i've seen, but – if there is a goal to understand today's wealth disparities – then we will need a range of infographics and interactives to communicate clearly cc. #iTeachMath ♾️
It’s frustrating when I see the NYT put out pablum like this glamorizing & glorifying the idea of trillionaires. ‘Cause, you know, it wouldn’t be good journalism if instead they asked “what does a $1T NW look like in terms of lost human potential & human suffering?” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The wealth of the tiny few is built on the social INSECURITY of the majority. And, because the electoral system is based almost entirely on private donations, they get to buy their public policies and politicians. This isn’t democracy. It’s plutocracy. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The angle all media is taking in this is ridiculous. That a man who has accomplished nothing now sails in an ocean of money is. Musk hasn’t created ed a single thing, and a majority of his money comes from us via the government, and it’s time we take that money back. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
What's a trillion really? But is he a better person for it - obviously no www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Two words - fucking insane.
