We are moving towards the French Revolution

From AI,

"While modern U.S. wealth disparities are extreme, they are generally less concentrated than the rigid caste system of pre-revolutionary France. Economic historians estimate that in 1789 France, the top 10% held roughly 90% of the wealth. In the U.S. today, the top 10% own about two-thirds of total wealth"

We aren't there yet but we are getting there.
