    I don’t think it’s comforting at all.

    If you remove the top 1%, the remaining wealth is concentrated in the top 10%. This group of people is highly invested in the status quo; their wealth and power is usually used to prop up the current system.

    These people are reffered to by many names: petit bourgeoisie, professional managerial class, small business tyrants, etc.

      It’s almost doubly comforting to that 10% though, right?

      How much land does this top 10% need? 🤔
