Perhaps most striking, though, is the comparison in access to basics such as food and shelter when you compare the situation of the poor in the United States and Western Europe on the one hand and India or Sub-Sahara Africa on the other.
On the bright side, once Bono's TED talk that he delivered yesterday is up, we can see the tremendous strides that have been made in reducing poverty, HIV, and malaria and improving access to medical care and education in the countries with the greatest numbers of people living in poverty. Bono presented these data specifically because there have been tremendous gains, and research shows that people are inclined to be less generous when they believe that their support makes no difference. It does make a difference.

I wonder why Bono himself chooses to be stingy in giving? I guess it is all in that other people's money thing and all that socialists do so well...

If you explain something, I can assure you I will hear it. I am always interested in what you have to say and consider it carefully.

GINI is talking up income disparity. There were a couple of fellows from the mid 2000s
Piketty and Saez who created the disparity meme.
I can explain further but won't waste my time unless you indicate that you are still listening.
