    Yes the global 1%. There are many people who earn around that amount and dont even consider themselves to be wealthy while 99% of the world is poorer than them. It is fucking sad.

      It’s not because you earn less in terms of USD per year that you’re poorer. If you own a big house and have a family and can feed everyone and basically live a comfy middle class life in your country, are you really poorer? It’s all about pay vs cost of living.

        Yes, if you have a house and can feed a family of four you are poorer than someone who can feed 20 people. I didnt say anyone making less than 140k is poor, but if you make that much you should have the decency to admit you are much wealthier than most.
