Wasn't it always like this?

Pretty sure there was always the "ruling class" such as royalty, but the difference is that back then it was impossible to move countries, move up social class, etc.

Nowadays you can move to other parts of the world, start companies and become a millionaire

Bad?

Wallstreet

there's no way those circles are to scale

it would take 16 of those little orange circles just to equal 1 million dollars

Alright mate, so shut the fuck up, go on wall street and protest for all I care.Why don't you wear a maoist suit, that'll make you look real tough. Meanwhile people with hardwork and dedication will be making it.

It takes generations of top tier offspring to get to the top

>Immigrant father lays bricks, kids learn english
>brick layer's kids get entry level highschool diploma jobs like plummer
> plummer's kids go to college
>they get shit entry level college jobs
>college grads kids become a doctor or lawyer
> lawers kids finally make it to harvard
>harvad grad might make it big

This could all happen if youre lucky enough not to have a NEET child in your family tree that fucks up the upward progression

>grandfather was a war criminal nazi defector who made millions from pillaging and moved to minnesota after selling secrets to the states
>father ran away at 17, joined the military, left before the pension cutoff, was a hippy for 5 years, had 3 kids, got a mediocre job, lost mediocre job, works minimum wage
>grandfather's inheritance all goes to his other non-fuckup kids

God, just stay home and listen to your dad for 5 more years so you could have been rich enough to make me rich. Fuck. I'm doing well enough, better than most, but I could have done great.

Debatable how much that has really helped. In the past the elites were tied to the fate of the nation, now they are internationalist that keep their assets in tax havens and could care less if the nation burns.
