    Love a good shit post, lol. And it actually gets me thinking how something like 70% the world’s wealth is held in the top 10% 🍽️ 🤤

    Of course you need to make a monumental amount of money compared to the rest of the world, so we’re willing to make that sacrifice! Just 10% of people in the world! 😂 I think it’s $32k USD a year salary to be in the global top 10% of earners. And oh… $60k USD to be in the top 1%

    So I’m kinda curious, OP, you on the menu?

    Note this calculator is from 2019, so “deflate” accordingly

      Ooh that’s cool.

      I can save four lives per year for only 13k USD? Thats amazing. Thats actually slightly less than the cost of an average uncomplicated vaginal birth in the US.

      Global wealth disparity will never be solved until we either achieve post-scarcity or a workable one-word government that’s not based on capitalism. There’s too much old word racism, colonialism, and natural resources aren’t equally divided. As a result there will always be global wealth inequality. We literally have to advance as a species.
