      I recommend visiting Gapminder. For example the Dollar Street, where you can get an inside how different life around the world is, depending on income.

      Also, it’s various other statistical tools like this animated graph, where you can see the billionaires running away to the right. Also interesting is the short blip of people having more wealth at around 1980 - 2010, which immediately got sucked back into “slightly right of extreme poverty mountain”.

      It also seems very American to me that there is not a single mention of climate change in there

          I truly applaud your mental fortitude. I honestly had to stop scrolling through your info graphic after passing the malaria part. I simply couldn’t take it all in at once. I will come back to it tomorrow and take in another chunk of it, I’ll see how far I get then but I intend to take it all in albeit in bite sized chunks.

          Keep it up and I’ll be looking for more of your projects later if I can handle it. The world is truly broken but I’m a firm believer that eventually we the common people will open our eyes to it and enact change. I don’t know how and I wish I knew how to contribute to that in some way even though I don’t believe I have the power within the current system.

          Thank you.
