If the world's wealth were divided equally, each household would have $56,540.

Median household wealth is $3,582; if you have more than that you are in the top 50%.

From The Economist.
Huh?
He means that if your household wealth is more than $3,582, you're not in the bottom 50% of world's households.

Household wealth?  That's just the cash he's got in the house now.

Someone slept through math class and had to go into the army.  :console:

If you start counting at the bottom and stop halfway through, what that person or household has is the median.

What, in the house? Or bank?

In the house, in the bank, in the insurance, in the 401k, in the IRA, in the market, the house itself, everything.  Your wealth.

What the fuck. I saw (what I assume to be) that sub in Ushuaia just a few weeks ago. :(

Freaky.

Apparently still no sign of the sub.  It's diesel, not nuclear, so it's going to run out of air in the next day or two.

Local elections today! They've been dominated by news stories about orgies, sex swings, weddings, dark rooms and penis collages. Who said local politics was dull? Anyhoo, I'll be voting for a party not involved with any of that. :zzz

Youngest mayor ever in Denmark is Christina Krzyrosiak Hansen, a 24 year old social democrat from Holbæk.

Missing Argentine sub presumed lost as two nuclear test ban monitoring stations had recorded sounds consistent with an underwater implosion on Wednesday near the area the sub went missing.
