      Poverty has dropped dramatically, worldwide, since I was a kid and there was only 3.7 billion of us.

      Just because the wealth disparity is radical, does not mean the poor are not better off.

      Go talk to your grandparents, or great grandparents, about the Great Depression. Hell, I’m only 54 and I’ve seen some shit IRL. You kids don’t even know what “poor” looks like. Hold onto your butts! Because you will see it, very soon.
