You must have an extremely high standard of living. About 42% of the people on
this planet have an acceptable standard of living. About one in a hundred of
them have a lifestyle we would envy. Most people do live in poverty, but less
(percentage-wise) of them do every year. This is mainly due to the extropian
power of the human mind to develop new technologies which do more with less.
