Among the many things you *wouldn't* learn from reading this infographic is that the net worth of the bottom half of the wealth distribution is up 144% since the first quarter of 2008 while that of the top 1% is up 122% nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Since the end of 2019 the net worth of the bottom half is up 30.3% while that of the top 1% is up 20.7%, according to the Fed's distributional accounts federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/da…
And yes it's awful that the bottom half of the wealth distribution controls only 2% of the wealth, but the damage was done in the 1990s and 2000s, not the last decade 
There are many ways to slice the wealth data, and I'm not sure my optimistic take from a couple of months ago is right. But there's lots of evidence that doesn't fit the story that Fed policy over the past decade has increased inequality bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
