This is a pretty horrifying article but the arithmetic is hard to argue with. I always assumed (pure vibes) that typical US earners were much poorer than those in more equitable societies.
The figures are so much worse.

The wicked lone wolf myths across Eurasia are likely because wolves are social but very shy so the only ones people ever encountered were those that had been ostracised for being sick or stupid.

I realise it's not the key element of this story but this implies a level of logistics and tracking in the wool industry that I wasn't aware of. How low does it go? Can I order a scarf from a specific sexy sheep?
