The fact that you have a car and a smartphone puts you somewhere around the richest 5% of people in the world. I don't think most 1st worlders like yourself -- especially those with the time and means to visit Hacker News -- have much of a clue about the poverty that exists in the world.
- jp555 12y agoI don't think zillionaires are made by keeping everyone else poor. I think it's much more likely the opposite, zillionaires arise from creating the most wealth for the most people. My issue is that "wealth" tends to be conflated with "money".
