By your own link, statistics have reversed and just in 2019-2020 alone an increase of 8 million people fell into extreme poverty. Going by UN metrics, we're actually seeing a stabilization in the "dramatic improvements", and we're struggling to break past the ~8% mark. We're talking about a $1.90 poverty line v a $2.15 poverty line, and that sent the rate from 8.4 to 9.3[1]. In that same document, the UN had to adjust their goal of hitting 3% under extreme poverty by 2030. How does this not justify what the above person stated, poverty is running rampant? More than 600 million people are still in extreme poverty. A record 100 million are displaced due to conflict in their countries. So I have to ask what exactly is unbelievably counter-productive here? I would argue that placating ourselves is.
