    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”

      You’re right from a hard-statistical point of view, but from a casual, layman conversation I think it is, as I said, mildly interesting.
