There's something like that. It does exist, doesn't it? Poverty, is earning less than ₹ 47 a day. That's less than a dollar a day. Who earns less than a dollar a day? Beggars in Manhattan make more than that. There is no poverty. There's nothing like that. Wait a minute: beggars in Manhattan?

Poverty
There's something like that. It does exist, doesn't it? Poverty, is earning less than ₹ 47 a day. That's less than a dollar a day. Who earns less than a dollar a day? Beggars in Manhattan make more than that. There is no poverty. There's nothing like that. Wait a minute: beggars in Manhattan?
Easy to forget, living in our bubble: and God save people from  governments that fudge numbers to show it doesn't exist...
