60% of the world lives on less than $1 per day. That is poor.
$1 a day is “poor?” C’mon, get with the program. $1 a day is culturally authentic. Not to mention picturesque. And inherently non-materialist and therefore superior to the West’s mass consumer society.
These people are, however, gravely threatened and must be protected from bioengineered foods, higher energy consumption lifestyles, and transnational corporations that try to impose jobs and consumer goods.
That's a doctor's salary in Cuba. A factory worker makes almost as much, 60 cents per day. Cuba is the left's gold standard in equalizing the distribution of income.
