Windham Mountain Going Private?

And I think there’s a theory now that Columbus was Spanish but lied about it to cover up a former life he didn’t want to explain to the queen

You are good with numbers and could probably tell me in what percentile a $200,000 net worth puts you when compared to the rest of the world. I'm curious about it, so I'd gain an answer.

A quick google shows me an article that says if your net worth is a million, you are in the top 1% worldwide. No idea if the source is credible. I'd like to know the percentage for lower numbers that might be more relevant. Like $100 or 200k.

What net worth gets you into the top 20%?

I guess my point is, before we slam the rich, let's get realistic. It could be some people we don't actually think are assholes.

ETA: this article says that $500,000 puts you in the top 20% in the US. How does that rank worldwide?

We live in the ius. Using world number is useless. Over 2 million you are rich.

Sorry, Harv. The solution is political, so you might have to delete the rest of this post:

Hit rich people with taxes that actually target them (land value taxes, taxes on stock transactions, taxes on private jets & yachts, etc.). Hit people with obscene wealth (>$1Billion) with wealth taxes that adjust for inflation. Use the money to pay for affordable housing and services (healthcare, education, public transportation, parks) for people with less money.

The goal is to keep normal people around. Just watch this at the 12:35 mark (or the 16:40 mark if you want to skip to my point and you don’t want to see a bunch of cool skiing):

Feeding the pigeons only brings in more pigeons.

We beat the Neanderthals. I think the dogs helped us win.

Funny, I just read this morning that a major volcanic eruption around Naples, Italy may be responsible for the Neanderthal thing, although you wouldn't know it when you see a bunch of snowboarders walk by. OH! BAM.

Generalizing all rich people as assholes isn’t fair imo.

Rt on!
