Why the Hell Aren’t We Demanding Free Healthcare and Housing for Everyone Already?! (hilariouschaos.com)

Seriously, how are people still defending this dumpster fire of a system?

We’ve got billionaires hoarding wealth like dragons while regular folks can’t even afford insulin or a roof over their heads. But sure, keep licking those corporate boots and pretending “trickle-down economics” isn’t a scam.

If you’re against universal healthcare and housing, you’re either brainwashed or part of the problem. Wake up, sheeple!

China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 0.7 percent in 2015, as measured by the percentage of people living on the equivalent of US$1.90 or less per day in 2011 purchasing price parity terms

1.90 a day. lol

"purchasing price parity" is the key term there.

But also it makes it that much more embarrassing that in 2021 China had 0.1% of it's population under that bar while the USA had 2%
