    What are you on about?

    That population article is full of what ifs, not facts.

    Most of the progress has been concentrated among the poorest of the poor—those who make less than $1.25 a day. The bank's figures show only a small drop in the number of those who make less than $2 a day, from 2.59 billion in 1981 to 2.44 billion in 2008 (though the fall from a peak of 2.92 billion in 1999 has been more impressive). According to Mr Ravallion, poverty-reduction policies seem to help most at the very bottom. In 1981, 645m people lived on between $1.25 and $2 a day. By 2008 that number had almost doubled to 1.16 billion. Even if many of these middling poor move up, their places are often taken by those who have just escaped from absolute poverty; population growth does the rest. The poorest of the poor seem to have escaped the worst of the post-2007 downturn. But the growth in the middling poor shows there is much to be done.

    I'm happy with my life, it just pisses me off that a selfish handful of ****s are ruining things for everyone else.

    Despite a lot of insecurities I'm mostly happy with my life too. I got over my envy of rich people a while ago - that's one of the things that's made me happier - chopping off their heads will not make my life any better, they are not taking anything that I deserve.

    Who is they? Do you even know any? I know a few, the ones I know are mostly normal people who have pulled off something clever. If you pulled off something clever that got you rich would you be scum too?
