Reminds me of the site that ranks your global wealth based on assets, income, etc. Most people in the 'lower class' division of America are still in the top 10% or something globally. Staggering!
Indeed, literally all Americans except the homeless are considered as rich by global standards. Even richer or wealthier individuals living in poorer countries could be considered less wealthy due to the low level of public infrastructure.
Most people living on modern societies are in debt, so they are poorer than a homeless man with $2 in change in his pocket.
That is a good point which is also of note. I also believe this to be true. However, it does not change my point about the public infrastructure which even homeless people can take advantage of for free. (Example: they use supermarket washrooms to wash up, air conditioning, etc.)
Many, many countries do not have air conditioning in most buildings. We take it for granted.
