Maybe a different way to look at this - "Imagine 400 people in a room. 10 can get all the food they can eat i.e unlimited food. 200 people get one plate of food. 100 people get half a plate of poor quality food. The rest get half a carrot". This situation lasts a week. What would happen?

But you’re missing an important step.

The government comes in and gives people who have little food, enough food. And of the food distributed, 70% of it comes from the top 50%.
