> The number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen DRASTICALLY over the last 25 years.
This is defined as people living on less than a dollar a day. Yes, it has more than halved in 30 years. Congratulations. I totally see how this progress actually over half a century relates to the world's richest getting an extra trillion in one year. Yep, makes sense to me.
The "dollar" has been adjusted over time, though, and is currently actually USD 1.90.
Your tone sounds sarcastic but I don't see the justification for it. The number of people who are actually hungry and malnourished has gone down significantly, and far more people are vaccinated today then 25 years ago, and far more children can go to school and literacy rates are up.
Sorry to hijack this, but referring to your other comment, I also saw weird stuff going on today with posts getting flagged. Seems the bots and trolls have found our corner of the internet as well... Not sure what's going on exactly.
