This is why I don't focus on inequality


After five consecutive posts on inequality, all I could come up with was an opinion.

And anyway, as has been pointed out to me a thousand times, you can't see inequality in aggregated data. You have to break up that data. But when you do, you can easily break it down from macro to micro, to the individual, personal level. And then it has to go like this.

Sometimes it seems like I'm the only person doing macro.

The spam filter's been acting up again lately. I'm aware, and checking it often.
