All progress in tools increases economic inequality. Tools multiply output, and the bottom end of the range is always zero.

@paulg@jstogdill Paul, it's just incorrect. Internet is a tool, I would argue it's decreases inequality -
@vasilipoupkine
@paulg@jstogdill I would argue against. Even the internet increased inequality. -
@mklarmann@paulg@jstogdill worldwide ? No, it didn't. Plus in the US it's not clear. Worldwide inequality FELL

@paulg I understand you're point, I just think it's misapplied. As farm implements improved, all farmers bought them. No one stayed at zero. -
@jstogdill@paulg Not necessarily true. There had to have been farmers who couldn't afford the new tools, and so fell behind. -
@markwallace@jstogdill then went to produce the tools and increased their income?
