    I think the user you’re responding to is referring to an infographic which idk is accurate.

    That said, almost all reliable statistics say that the top 10% of the US population hold something like 70% of all wealth in the US, so it’s not exactly inconceivable that a global redistribution would bring the bottom 90% of Americans a bit more wealth just because of how much wealth is being horded

      I’m curious how this is calcualted, is it purely money? Cuz I think a lot of consideration should be given to things like infrastructure and industrial capacity.

      Also, surprisingly, Scandinavians and Germans would be getting a slight upgrade, yet Canada is part of the true imperial core unlike the US. Spain is a bit of a weird outlier here too.
