    I know it’s beneficial to have studies confirm common sense thinking, because sometimes common sense is wrong, but goddamn if this ain’t some “breaking news, water is wet” shit

        Why do you feel the need to put words in my mouth? Wealth inequality is fucked and it’s worldwide and I can’t fix it. I’m already anti capitalist but there are other injustices that fuel my rage, I only have so much rage to spend before I get exhausted.

          This isn’t corruption. I’ll edit/repeat what I said in another comment: These studies, although obvious, are necessary because it’s the first step in figuring out where the best places to target are in order to change it. It’s basically breaking it down into smaller parts so that people can fix it. It’s step 1 as well as a “stop and re-evaluate” step. Tackling something this big takes monumental effort by both big and small players and you are basically fighting capital the entire way. It’s tactics. Chances are, this researcher will then go on to publish possible avenues to solving this but they’re never as big headlines.

          I had trouble with understanding this with my own writing, but my supervisor said even though it’s obvious, someone has to literally compile and say it. It’s good to have checks on these things, though.
