I agree with you. TikTok is a scape goat for fear without acknowledging the core issues.

And for the people who say it's about targeting our youth they are not the only ones. And they won't be the last. Pass reform and regulations is the key.

ALSO develop an education system that teaches social and emotional learning to our children so they can handle and work with the ever evolving world of addiction and misinformation.

But you know, you gotta be able to find root causes and most people arent equipped with that skill. They stop thinking once their emotions start turning.

Surprised to see a reduction in math and computer science. My own unscientific, unsubstantiated, entirely subjective impression is that there are more young woman becoming interested in coding.

Happy to see yet another statistic that shows Uruguay at the top of its category. It's the most underrated country in the Americas.

This Project was done with R and and ggplot. and this datatable from statscan

What software creates this?

Was the pig galloping? The x positions of the limbs are synchronized

The operative word on that chart is “pre-tax“. In the United States for example, things get less unequal after everyone pays their taxes. In Latin America, where I lived and worked, the tax collection structure is far less effective and efficient than the United States IRS. PS to those who think the rich don’t pay enough taxes in the US, look it up. PPS to those wondering if I just used “efficient““ IRS“ in the same sentence, I did, but everything is relative.

That is a really good point. StatCan decided how to sub-divide it, and was using the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Canada 2016 unsure why those two were combined.

Interesting, I've never seen architecture and engineering in a combined category

And that's just income, not even assets...

Businesses operate a bit different than individuals in this sense. The tldr of it is

Investing Activities are expenditures in long-term assets (think things that are depreciating such as cars and laptops).

Financing are things you do in the form of something equitable in order to fund the business. This is like receiving a loan or paying off debt in order to finance your Operations and Investments. Typically re-purchasing their own equity is them essentially buying up their own financing so they can keep more of their dividends as they feel sustainable with their cash on hand in the foreseeable future.

Why does stock buy back not count as investing

Income inequality is not wealth inequality

The gang leaders declined to provide estimates of their income.

I know that in latinoamerica there is a lot of informal employment that it's not taxed or registered. About 50%. So it's very hard to measure the actual numbers

In argentina with the high impositive pressure almost every business have some of their economy off the books / unreported and the ones that dont usually struggle financially because the whole system is broken.

Anyway I can't trust the precisión of these reports for latín américa because half of it is off the record

Where's Haiti? I'm interested in the top 1% of zero.

lol that would have never crossed my mind, probably a rounding error

the country is basically a giant resort for remote workers at this point

There is a lot going on for sure

That's a great question! I would assume their income is more so reported in the US, though, no? (assuming you mean MLB players)

I wonder what percentage of that top 1% in the DR is baseball players?

This infographic feels very cluttered to me.
