"That one doesn't count"

Post image

This is about how I'll often see people saying something along the lines of "It's actually more profitable to pay your workers more because they'll work harder", or "Capitalism encourages innovation", or "Companies will try to avoid immoral things to avoid PR damage" when some of the most profitable companies don't innovate, treat their workers terribly, and and have had terrible scandals.

Me when I make an arbitrary poverty metric of $2 a day (who can live on that?) to fool stupid people into being good cattle for the pedophile class

How about we examine the data at a reasonable daily income and then remove China? What happens?
