    These are federal statistics. I wouldn’t trust those, especially not since Trump tries his best to skim and remove anything he doesn’t like.

    The reality is way worse. The 1% holds far more than the graph shows.

      The top 1% owns about 30% of the wealth, and the top 10% owns about 67% according to this graph. That doesn’t seem too far fetched, I wouldn’t assume absolutely every statistic has been manipulated quite yet.

        Hence why they’re now trying to “Modernize” government pages. They can’t find anything that isn’t presented to them in a feed and probably have missed this so far.

            You don’t think the chilling effect has already taken hold? Anyone who likes job security over integrity is already compromised.

              A lot of the employees are just doing their jobs and don’t really care who is in charge. If they haven’t already been fired and replaced, then there’s a pretty good chance they won’t be.
