Reply to I Found a Good Stat to Understand Better What Life is Like for the Normal Person. 4 Billion People's Only Method of Cooking is Wood or Charcoal by lettuceLeafer
I often would bring up stats about money people make in PPP but I think this makes it easier to understand than that. I do have a critique of this though, I'm not sure how accurate this is because the recorders are often extremely biased and have an agenda
this stat that 1.5 billion people have no acess to electricity shows this agenda oppenly.
These orgs care about this because they wanna blame climate change on people in subsaharan africa for food cooking their food with wood which is frankly ridiculous. But the information is still useful despite it being collected for nefarious purposes.
And another good one to help understand perspective is that about 3 billion people have never used the internet ever. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/nov/30/more-than-a-third-of-worlds-population-has-never-used-the-internet-says-un
With many of those being ones who use it infrequently buy paying for a internet cafe or something.
Idk, I just think 1rst world country brain causes people to have no perspective on what life is life for the average person unless you actively try to understand which is quite difficult. Because frankly the discussion of being poor centering around like the top 10 percent of wealthiest humans is a really annoying discussion.

I'm curious if people really don't know why, like a good faith reading would suggest that they didn't. But the answer is so obvious.

Does anyone else have further thoughts on other examples of settler-colonial time? Or any texts/resources that educate one about this topic? Let me know, I am interested to read about it.

"Chiquita, formerly United Fruit Company, was asked to report profits that came directly from these countries but refused to comment." -Disclaimer statement if reporters did their job.
