Hmmm... I was looking into global poverty yesterday and came across this: Some figures from the United Nations Development Programme [*]: More than a billion people live with less than a dollar per day. 2.8 billion people, that is to say almost half of the global population, live with less than 2 dollars per day. 448 million children are underweight. 876 million adults are illiterate, two thirds of which are women. Every day, 30,000 children under 5 die from avoidable diseases. More than a billion people don’t have access to healthy water. 20% of the global population have 90% of the wealth. I know the cost of a ride around the moon doesn't solve that, but it sure feels selfish when I think about it. * https://www.atd-fourthworld.org/who-we-are/faq/how-many-people-living-in-poverty-are-there/ https://www.atd-fourthworld.org/who-we-are/faq/how-many-peop...
