There are one and a half billion people living on less than a 1.25 a day (roughly 7 billion people on the planet). That's like surviving on a McChicken sandwich daily. Let that sink in.

you stupid stupid faggot
reminder to account for PPP and to kill youself

The World Bank estimated 1.29 billion people were living in absolute poverty in 2008. Of these, about 400 million people in absolute poverty lived in India and 173 million people in China.
you sure told me kid
>>37969998
absolute poverty = surviving on 1.25$ a day
nice non sequitur hurrrrrrr

I love how you guys try to argue like you give a shit but are to lazy to provide any actual statistical data and site your source of info when trying to prove your """point""" ...its the truth so long as someone laughs at my post, huh? grow the fuck up
>>37970050
the statements were not connected although they ultimately reflect one another.
>>37970094
go back to school
the statement someone lives on 1.25$ a day only means anything after accounting for PPP.
It only means surviving on a mcchicken if you live in the US. This doesnt need statistical data to back up anything this is fucking economics 101 not even highschool level.
Start off your retard thread with the world bank estimation because thats actually means something. Not that I care because those countries are shit and are not inhabited by people by any measure.
Its a non sequitur.
Go post this retard shit in /biz/ or something and watch them laugh at you like the retard you are. Better yet write this shit in a journal then sleep on some train tracks you absolute mong
>>37970116
they dont. Only the second statement means anything to begin with.

>That's like surviving on a McChicken sandwich daily
Pretty sure I could do that just fine desu. The truly hard part of poverty is the lack of shelter from niggers and the freezing cold, not inability to sustain yourself.

>Pretty sure
so you've never actually experienced poverty first hand but assumed your opinion matter and wasted the time posting it here? thanks for the bump
>>37970175
maybe if I waste 10s of thousands of dollars on a college education I can sit on r9k and argue howpoverty isn't a thing, huh pseud?
>tfw really want to help disadvantaged kids but too much of a pussy to go to a poor country
My friend went to Tanzania to help kids and he really loved it though

Where did I say poverty wasnt a thing? Good straw man though. All ive been saying this whole time is you are basically a dunce with no clue what they are talking about.
There are courses for free on khan or free MIT coursework where you can learn this shit so you can become semi-economically literate.
End it. Do the world a favor. You can do it. /r9k/ is cheering you on!

so how do they eat? they eat because they're allowed to find food on land that isn't technically theirs and they don't have a governmental system that dwarfs every other system on the front of parasitic taxation and will imprison you if you touch anything that isn't in your 300 sqft room that technically isn't yours and you're only allowed to live there if you can pay the monthly fee
