2 billion - 5 billion
Not 2bil-6bil
The article seems to be from 2015 or we are talking about 10 years ago
- truculent 2y agoYes, I checked the source, and I don’t think it meaningfully changed my reaction. Though you’d hope more people have access to washing machines now than in 2015.
- rob74 2y agoThis also clarifies that the 2 billion are those who have access to a washing machine, not own one. Of course the question is how you define access - how near does a laundromat (or similar establishment) have to be to still count as "access"? What if there is one, but you can't afford it?
- Iulioh 2y agoThe quote is wrong, that's what i'm saying. The article says 2-6 but the article says 2-5. The author wanted to say "we are 8 bil people on the planet" but when the article was written there were 7.
