A Clean, Striking Chart — With One Smoothing Slip

This chart from @Barchart caught my eye right away. It shows a major economic shift—the top 1% of U.S. earners now hold more wealth than the entire middle class. That’s a powerful story—and the chart tells it clearly. Almost.
The layout is solid: two simple lines, a direct title, no distractions. You see the lines cross around 2023, making it clean and easy to understand.
