only if you’re approaching it from a really wealthy perspective
I disagree, I’m viewing it as someone whose family was living paycheck to paycheck in a developed nation. I’ve been poor, and my family has been poor. Some of my extended family are still poor… entirely due to their own failings. While I am much wealthier now I’m also generally frugal outside of a couple of hobbies.
Worldwide poverty is not the result of individuals ‘failing’ to share with their neighbours. Its not even a consumerist problem.
Ask yourself why some countries have been able to go from poor and undeveloped to wealthy developed nations, and others have failed.
It is an institutional problem stemming from those countries Governments, either due to conflict, corruption, lower economic freedom (ability to own, move and sell property, goods and labour), low trust in institutions and poor policies.
In only a few cases do we see outside drivers of conflict and natural disaster setting back these countries… they are the exception and not the rule.
