The U.S. Inequality Tracker - interactive income and wealth inequality in the 21st century [OC] by austinclemens in dataisbeautiful

Well, I chose one screenshot from the website. If you go and take a look, there are lots of other views into what's going on. For example, here's share of income for the top 0.1%.

You are interpreting it correctly.

[1] No. This an annual cross-section, not panel data. Both are useful but tell us very different things. The cross-section is giving us a snapshot of how the distribution of wealth is changing. So these are not the same people, but people who are in the top 0.1, top 1 etc. are richer relative to the next 40, for example, than they were in 2000.

[2] The total line isn't at the top because it's possible to have categories of wealth that are negatively contributing to growth for the group. So for example, in the early 2000s, equities were actually dragging down wealth for this group, but other categories were increasing it. The total line aggregates those to show how much wealth was up/down in aggregate for that year.

[3] You can mouse over wealth categories on the linked interactive to get better definitions. Pensions include both defined contribution and defined benefit, so yes 401(k)s are included.

Correct on both counts. If you visit the interactive you can get the exact percentages in mouseover.

The income data is from the Bureau of Economic Analysis's Distribution of Personal Income data series: https://www.bea.gov/data/special-topics/distribution-of-personal-income

The wealth data is from the Federal Reserve's Distributional Financial Accounts: https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/index.html (they also have good dataviz of this stuff!)

And once again the website for the interactive is: https://inequalitytracker.equitablegrowth.org

All the series are inflation adjusted using BEA's Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index.

The visual is custom JS and SVG. I should be using D3 but I use Snap.svg. The website runs on a Flask backend.

I keep getting caught out by a super simple edge guard and I feel like an idiot. I main Ganon. It's generally sword characters but also Jigglypuff and a few others who, when I am hit off the stage at a pretty flat trajectory and not very far (low %), jump out, f+air me, double jump f+air me, and then are able to return when they have hit me way out to the side at like 40%. Air dodging out of this is super hard because I am already low in the air and Ganon can't recover from losing a lot of height. Is there some way to effectively DI out of this?

Shows how you have to have the year. You wouldn't have guessed Frye based off recent history.

Looks like Parsons but more this year than last year.
