      That’s a fair comparison, and would give me the appropriate “Oh shit!” that this headline just didn’t offer.

      Even a single, well-known point of reference makes it better. We all know world income inequality is absolutely nuts. But to pick out a particular one needs at least some kind of reference point (unless it’s an Indian article for Indian people, like an article from the U.S. for the U.S.).
