There's more wealth in the world now, than ever before.
There are more people that qualify as rich now, than ever before.
First world poverty is less now, than ever before.
"Poor people" in the United States, have cell phones televisions and video game systems.
What the fuk are y'all on about?

Sorry 'Weird History' but we are not in the mood right now.
Until all the rich community in this county admits responsibility for their actions I will not watch this video.

Roughly 1 billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty through the expansion of capitalist market economies, while the resulting increases in productivity, investment, trade, innovation, and wealth helped enable transformative advances in medicine, vaccines, antibiotics, hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, clean water, and life expectancy, saving and improving hundreds of millions to billions of lives.

Throughout history the ones with vast wealth are ruthless egotistical tyrants that care little for humanity

Maybe the first solid Gold toilet but not the last. The artist Maurizio Cattelan created an 18K solid Gold toilet in 2016. Currently owned by Ripley's Believe It or Not company which paid $12.1M for it at a Sotheby's auction. Previously owned by NY Mets owner Steve Cohen.
