Because the US has several million more people living below a certain level of income, experiencing a daily misery but it’s somewhat excusable because the ratio is smaller.
I dont know the metrics, but I assume poverty means different things in each country. I would think poverty in a second world country means that people are at a state where they have a hard time getting enough food.
I know it doesn’t work like that but I think it’s mildly interesting
Yeah, it doesn’t matter that the U.S. has more people living in poverty as what matters is the relative amount of the total population.
I know you know, but thought I’d say it just in case someone else didn’t get why you said “it doesn’t work this way”
You’re right from a hard-statistical point of view, but from a casual, layman conversation I think it is, as I said, mildly interesting.
Why is that interesting?
