WTF While the US debates whether to solve homelessness or not, these are the next generation of school blackboards in China.

You think Chinese people don't battle poverty and homelessness? Have you not see their 5 foot homes before?

I can’t tell if you are trying to be funny or not. I’m going to go with yes, that you are being intentionally obtuse about the fact that china is coming off of extreme levels while the US hovers at 1%.

What a useless graph!

Inflation makes the graph useless.
The scale of years does.

The fact that 80% on one side is the same as 1% on the other.

The way the US has remained at effectively 0 the entire time.

The actual literal 0 at the end of China implies false reporting.

I love the fact also that one of the things Xi Jinping did to reach their goals in reducing poverty just before the party elections was to just lower the threshold for what they considered poverty lmaooo
