I don’t think the numbers are right. If you make $59,000 you are not in the global top 1%.

- snet0 4y agoOne thing to recognise here is that "income" isn't an entirely global concept, and has been pushed into a lot of places, which frequently go from something resembling a barter or trade economy into a place full of "low-income" people. Some people living on cents a day are living "fine" lives relative to their area, because not every exchange of goods or services is mediated by currency.
