There's been a lot of complaining here lately about how billionaires have so much money and its not fair on the rest of us.
Well guess what? If you earn $32,400 a year then you are in the top 1% of income earners in the world.
To put that in perspective, the median income in the USA in 2017 across all occupations was just over $50,000.
Also of note, working full time (40hr/week) on minimum wage in the US will get you $15,000, which puts you inside the top 8% of income earners.
You hate on the billionaires for being rich, but since we're here with access to technology and the internet really we're all pretty rich so maybe start hating on yourselves?
Let the crying begin.
