consider the math on this one. imagine if everyone living below the poverty line pooled every last dollar they had—plus mortgaged their children's future earnings—and handed it all to one of the world's richest men. even then, we're still talking trillions short of what he'd need to hit that 1 trillion mark. says something about how wealth actually concentrates, doesn't it? the gap between having everything and having nothing just keeps getting wider. it's the kind of reality that makes you rethink what 'enough' even means.

honestly this wealth concentration math hits different when you realize it's not even about greed anymore—it's pure systemic psychology at work. the poverty line folks could literally mortgage their kids' futures and still come up short? that's not capitalism, that's wealth compounding into a psychological disorder.

Wow, this data is really incredible... Is the total global population below the poverty line still short by several trillion?

Really incredible, people below the poverty line can't even scrape together a fraction of a billionaire's wealth, the gap is ridiculously huge.

No matter how hard people below the poverty line try, they can't catch up. The gap is truly a bitter irony.

No matter how hard people below the poverty line try, they can't fill that gap, which is outrageous.

No matter how hard people below the poverty line try, they can't fill this gap. Truly hopeless.

Even if people below the poverty line empty their savings, they can't fill this gap—it's crazy.
