I never understand when people preach about wealth inequality. The GDP per capita of the world is about $12k. In a perfectly equal world, that would mean everyone makes about that in a year. Seeing people on social media whining about wealth inequality while living in some of the most prosperous countries in the world is kindoff laughable.
- Clamchop 3y agoPerfect income equality (which isn't going to happen anyway, nothing near it) would have cataclysmic consequences for economies. We can't talk about $12,000 or whatever per person as if that means something. Getting traction on this problem at the scope of the entire world would indeed be a huge lift. It's a shame that it's impossible to narrow the scope to something more realistic. As everyone knows, prosperous countries doing work to more equitably share that prosperity among its citizens is... a sin?
