I'd rather smoke ten joints a day then go back to the top decile. Been there, done that. A pint a day is being generous. Try a fifth. The poor bastards at the top won't last long, which is frightening when But the consequences of the Pareto Law are different when it comes to industries like alcohol, tobacco, and now marijuana. If you consume 10+ drinks per day, for instance, you almost certainly have a drinking problem. But the beverage industry is heavily dependent on you for their profits.
the top 20 percent of buyers for most any consumer product account for fully 80 percent of sales.
To me that means all the borderlines keep falling off the edge to replace the ones who hit rock bottom.
