This wealth distribution map graphic hit me in the gut this morning. It clearly conveys visually how much is owned by so few. The simple map really helps one to grasp just how monumentally distorted our resource inequality problem is.

I am so sick of people toying with language, calling what has been happening economically a “recession”. It is time that we all stop claiming that somehow we are not in the midst of the most massive global economic implosion in the history of our nation. It’s more than a “great” depression, it is absolutely epic.
