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

Why is that interesting?

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago

Because the US has several million more people living below a certain level of income, experiencing a daily misery but it's somewhat excusable because the ratio is smaller.

I dont know the metrics, but I assume poverty means different things in each country. I would think poverty in a second world country means that people are at a state where they have a hard time getting enough food.

I would grant that even if the metrics were measured largely the same way you could argue or even observe that experience would be meaningfully different in some ways.
