    Are the stated poverties in the US and Russia of the same poverty definition? If the instrument is for example relative poverty, a reduction of affluence for everyone (eg through reduction of GDP) is not trivially comparable.

    I wonder if there’s an instrument that combines poverty and debt sustainability as a measure for the sustainability of a society’s access to resources.

      Nah they just wanted to vent emotions instead of actually thinking thru the bullshit they posted.

      It is most definitely not the same calculation by far
