1. The virtue of poverty

by Mike Solana, Editor in chief

Left-wing influencers are overjoyed following release of the UBS Global Wealth Report, which indicates America is (surprise!) insanely rich, but the richest Americans are (surprise, part 2) far richer than the average Joe — an historic level of “wealth inequality,” they’re screaming, as if this is self-evidently outrageous.
