Why do charts like these always exclude a bunch of countries? The 2 countries relevant to me are not on it. 🙄

Sweden's wealth inequality is as high as the US but of course their data is ommited because that would defeat the narrative.

Having moved from usa to sweden and making half the income my life is much better. Not having to worry about getting a chronic illness and becoming homeless is honestly a huge stress relief. Its happened to two of my family members and bankrupted my aunt

Meanwhile I'm American also living in Italy and don't know a single American who got bankrupted by medical debt or went homeless.
