My income (prelayoff of course) puts me the top 1% richest people in the world.

I wonder what they makes the people who are top 1% in this country?? How far away must they be?

At 10.00 per year a person is in the top 41% of the worlds people. There are some seriously poor people out there. You really have to wonder what someone that makes 500 million a year does with their money. Can you imagine what it would be like to have so many houses you have to ask the butler where your bedroom is when you go somewhere?

I've mentioned this before. The seriously poor in this country are still far better off than the seriously poor in other parts of the world. It's all relative - and it's eyeopening when you really think about it.

It's all truly sad. At least this country has a safety net of a sort. The other countries have a really bad problem because of serious corruption. As cheap as their economies are the help that countries around the world provide should help out some. Instead the relief is grabbed by the corrupt militarys and sold. Of course the top 2% in those countries have the biggest guns and the most political clout. If there is a hell they are buying lots of property there.

I'm sure this one has been posted at some point, but this website also gives a pretty interesting perspective at how various cultures eat, and what an average family in that culture eats in one week.

Thanks for sharing hwillm!!

BTW, I was an art major and your art work is fantastic! My buddy who drew almost as good as you went on to illustrate medical dictionaries back in the 80's. Computers prolly put him out of business tho.

Not sure if I ever said welcome to sufficientself or not so
