Today I bring you a curiosity infograph rather than a useful one, doesn't mean however it's not worth looking into! So it's basically the distribution of wealth at a global scale and who in the world actually holds it and where.

For the grand majority of the common folk this is more rage inducing than anything I mean, looking at these numbers and seeing how it seems to concentrate on just a handful of companies can be outrageous. Firstly there's the most evident thing to be noticed which is that most of the money seems to be held by United States companies the big ones everyone knows and hears about adding to that the fact that from 300 billionaires about a third are from that same country just tells us that well, the US are doing great I suppose. It's interesting to note that from those 300, only 110 became billionaires by inheritance, seems like the other guys are working for their money. But then as it can be seen only 29 of them are women, which can mean 2 things either they're just picking up pace because for many years working rights for both weren't exactly the same, or that they still struggle a lot.

Worth mentioning that most of these companies are IT and technologies related meaning we really are in a technological era of growth, everyone get on the bandwagon!

Now this is something that some people would like to completely deny that it's true. Plain and simple, shows that we basically came from the same common ancestor and due to location, climate, food, well a lot of factors, evolved and went our "separate ways".

Genetics once again coming and showing the world we come from the same place! Must be a slap in the face for some. And it's interesting to see how diverse, and creative in fact, nature and the environment and of course us as a specie  end up being if the result is such diversity in shape, size, color everything from skin to body type to hair and eyes differs because some of us needed to survive harsh conditions, cold, heat and other natural things.

But it's not just he common 1 ancestor that's interesting also the common "sub" ancestors like for a quick example one shared between Indians, Italians and Greeks and the differences between them are noticeable!

There's not much to say or explain about this one, worth mentioning how we can all go into 8 different groups and still end up all different from each other, quite a feat!

Now this one genuinely surprised me. I've heard of all the garbage we are collecting in outer space, all of it buried in huge deposits on land but I had no clue such a thing existed at sea. But it's not the fact that it exists that I was most surprised about but rather its sheer size! 3 times the size of the Iberic Peninsula, now that's huge! It's worth mentioning that it's not "directly" formed by us but rather a group of other factors such as currents in the pacific, still worrying.

Although this is pretty serious and should be a worry for us, I at least think it's better like this that all the debris and trash that gets to the sea by sewers and rivers actually gathers itself in one place only instead of being scattered around a greater area. It is however worrying that such thing exists and I must assume it's not getting any smaller but rather on the contrary getting bigger, it's not because it can't decompose and transform into something at least useful to the planet but because the speed at which it happens is so much lower than the speed at which it's produced.

It's a great eye opener and let's hope it doesn't end up like some of India's rivers.

In today's modern society we seem to be, no we really are in fact, surrounded by brands and companies, multinationals and their products. We consume a lot, spend a lot and so there are of course a lot of products and things to choose from to meet demand. We go our daily lives buying X brand of car and buying Y movie, eating this drinking that; And we never actually think or even care about if all these products are connected somehow. And well, they are.

It's quite fascinating to see that what we think are isolated things are actually part of such a diverse network where in the end they all end up having a relation with other companies. I've got to admit I had a few minutes of fun looking into this one and trying to find how could I get from food to electronics or some other unrelated subjects.

Even though many of them have no "direct" connection it's still worth of notice how actually what we think are concurrent companies or rivals are really just a part of a greater machine which in turn just makes me wonder if they all just don't concur in many of the prices, practices and campaigns they hold because in the end they all "feed" off each other apparently.

It's a pretty interesting graph to look upon for the simple fact that you can get astonished by the relationships that are going on in the big business world.

Crime has been part of us as human race since the dawn of our times. I would risk it and say it's in our nature, big or small crimes, greater or lesser will to do it. So, knowing this we, as intelligent beings develop justice, authorities and a bunch of other systems and methods to deal with this, by punishment mostly.

Now days a good penal system, organized police force as well as judges, courts, prisons, fees and lawyers are all part of a greater system called the law. Well a normal, respectful, well adjusted citizen would go on about his/her life without having to deal with such things as long as no borders are crossed, well that works for most of the people but there will always be criminals. And thats where I want to get to, because as it seems crime can be a profession too and it seems to move a lot of money doing so.

This infograph shows what, who and where do the biggest organizations, yes they can organize themselves just like any other professional person, operate. Many of them, if not all, made famous by movies, mainly the italian mafia of course. But not only them hold business in the organized crime scene and they certainly don't seem to cover all of its "fields". The russian, the mexican, chinese and japanese all hold expertise in some areas of illegal activity. And it's not the ranks numbers that surprise me but rather the massive amount of money made through such activities it's astonishing.

In a way they help keep the world spinning, although in a completely wrong way to do it, but the money flows and families are fed, many at the cost of other lives which is just unethical. It's an interesting graph and even a bit shocking but worth it.
