    I know it doesn’t work like that but I think it’s mildly interesting

    • 57% of Argentina population is 25MM people
    • 12% of USA pop (amount who live in poverty) is 38MM people

      Yeah, it doesn’t matter that the U.S. has more people living in poverty as what matters is the relative amount of the total population.

      I know you know, but thought I’d say it just in case someone else didn’t get why you said “it doesn’t work this way”

      The issue is a lot harder to ignore when the person to your right and the person to your left is starving to death.
