Richard says, I'm Rich!
I get SSA, SSI, Medicare, Medi-cal, free Dental, my brother pays my phone service, I have an ideal rent-controlled apartment in Berkeley CA, and there are things like free libraries, wifi, and food pantries...
(791+412) x 12 = 14,436/year. The health insurance (and medications) are worth x. An income of say, $18,500 happens to be the average farm-worker salary, in the Bay Area. That's $50.70/d. Only 7% of the world earns $50+/d.
85% of the world (6.5B) earns less than $30/d. 71% earns less then $10/d. 50% earns less than $5.50/d.
Half the world earns $6.85/d ($2500/yr or less). 9.2% of the world lives on $1.90/d ($700/yr)
SSA? Social Security Administration. Or, Sub-Saharan Africa. 60% of the global poor live in the SSA.
