U.S. wealth inequality is the highest it has been in nearly four decades, according to federal data, as the economy under the Trump administration appears to increasingly favor the rich.

As of late 2025, the top 1 percent of households held 31.7 percent of wealth, the highest share on record since the Federal Reserve began tracking the figure in 1989.

    yeah and people are mentalyl unhealthy because they are living in their little rabbit holes of siloed information.

    the amount of willful, deliberate, ‘i’m sticking my head in the sand and you can’t stop me from doing it’ crap I see IRL and here on fediverse blows my mind. It wasn’t like this a decade ago. a decade ago people would be curious about your differences and at least ask you questions, now everyone is apparently some expert genius with psychic powers who knows ‘everything they need to know’ about you based on what shirt you wore today.
