Odd

The top 1% have, what, 90% of the world’s wealth?

This means that as an Australian living in this privileged enclave, there’s a good chance that you’ll be wealthy. One in a hundred, in fact.

That’s pretty good odds compared to most gambles.

But if doesn’t feel like that, does it?

The odds of climbing from the 99% into the 1% bracket are in fact one in a zillion. This is because the wealthy do what they can to barracade the ramparts of their caste, on the basis that your loss is my gain.
