I do think the bottom one is misleading. One of the reasons there’s less global poverty is because the standards for what counts as being impoverished on these studies has gone down… Not living conditions going up. They just redid the studies in a way to make it look better for the stats.
It’s a good thing to have less poverty but having less purely because you decided people can live on less now is misleading at best.
Nothing against OP, I just hate that specific stat every time it gets thrown around.
