Trump’s 17 cabinet-level picks have more money than bottom third of American households combined

Yeah, qz.com is pretty much Atlantic Media’s “Millenial-Friendly” Clickhole, so “technically true, but not substantive” headlines are to be expected. It’s unfortunate that the truth isn’t that much rosier, though, even once the hyperbole has cleared. We’re still left with the fact that the average wealth of a third of American households have zero or negative wealth, and according to the Guardian story that the OP cites, Trump’s cabinet is probably the wealthiest, and certainly the most stuffed with cackling robber-barons
