I keep seeing assertions that Biden is governing far to the left of where he campaigned. But has anyone looked back at the Democratic platform? Everything happening now was promised last year https://t.co/3dLbikQU9L https://t.co/u54p3gzAv6 — PolitiTweet.org

Roughly, the bottom 95% of incomes seem to fit a lognormal distribution pretty well. But the upper tail is much, much fatter than that would suggest; far more weight on extremely high incomes, fitting Pareto very well 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
