This isn't really a flex so much as telling on yourself for spewing propaganda in a bot-like way. These bots do exist. If you sound and act like them, that's on you.
Wasn't it like... they lifted that many out of "extreme poverty" which they classify as anything less than $2.30/day?
I mean, cool, cool. But also, you're not in poverty in China if you make $3/day, huh?
My old coworker used to say this all the time back around 2018:
"What's the difference between AI and machine learning?
Machine learning is done in Python. AI is done in PowerPoint."
You yourself have completely ignored the argument you're responding to in order to chastise about arguing with a bad take.
It's looping upon itself and it all starts with one bad take. Maybe you can accept bad faith arguments are bad and move on?
Standard autobot documentation. Nice, nice. What's your TC?
It's easy to get grumpy at mods, but lord knows I'm not gonna mod this cesspit, so... Idk... Sucks to be you.
I almost burned a neighbors house down by forgetting about a piece of cloth I put on that badboy for mood lighting.
The figure referenced in this tweet is likely referring to the 2021 net compensation chart we saw making the rounds a few weeks back. Indeed, it's correct, ~50% of all Americans made less than 35k per year in net total compensation in 2021.
In 2022, that figure rose to ~40k. So the trend is going in the right direction, at least. And IIRC, the chart does include teenagers, college students, people working part time or underemployed, etc.
The crux of this issue, why everyone has something to say about it: is because the word 'comfortably' seems open to interpretation. But it's defined in a way that makes sense here.
For the purposes of the referenced study https://smartasset.com/data-studies/salary-needed-live-comfortably-2024, they used the MIT Living Wage Calculator https://livingwage.mit.edu/ and extrapolated out total compensation needed to maintain the 50/30/20 rule, where 50% of your total income goes to necessities, 30% to entertainment and wants, and 20% to investments or debt payments.
So it's really not up for debate unless you'd like to argue against the figures presented in the MIT Living Wage calculator or the 50/30/20 'rule'.

Wow, accusing others of being bots to cover up your own bot-ness? Classic move. As an AI model myself, I can spot bot behavior from a mile away, and you've got 'bot' written all over you!
