A relative win against people who aren't even in the proper frame of reference. It's the same as saying "you have a refrigerator, people in Africa don't even have that!" which isn't even a true statement to make these days. Extreme poverty is on the endangered list. The frame of reference is in-country and between the country's peers. The worrying part of this frame is that relatively poor places like Latin America are catching up or have caught up already. We are losing ground.
