Perhaps you missed this: the meme says “if U.S. land mass were divided like U.S. wealth.” It’s a simile; it doesn’t mean that this really is the actual ratio that U.S. land is divided.
What? It does not imply that at all? Let me guess, you also think that the 1% own the entire northwestern corner of the country? And 40% of people live in a single city in Texas?
Edit: I’m sorry, this was unnecessarily rude and unnecessary in general.
Look back at the OG meme. It suggests the people have 100% ownership of the land, dispersed unevenly though.
When clearly we do not. Most everyone does not own the dirt they live and dwell on. If you owned it, you wouldn’t have to keep paying for it.
The meme has nothing to do with land ownership, it’s giving a visual example of wealth differential by diving a map of the US into sections.
The meme literally says own in every section.
How else is anyone supposed to interpret the words presented to them?

I missed absolutely nothing. I read the exact words on the meme, which imply 100% of people own land.
Get real, 1% own property, while the other 99% have to rent it from the rich oligarchs and other rich fucks.
