"the HDI can be viewed as an index of ?potential? human development (or the maximum IHDI that could be achieved if there were no inequality
we were actually talking about how "developed" each country is, and if you stick your head in the sand and pretend inquality does not matter then fine  crime does not matter either, neither does the 14 trillion dollar debt or anything else that is detrimental to your argument LOL
the UN seems to think that inequality does matter and they even adjusted the Human Development Index to account for it, but if you say "sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet it don't matter" then it obviously does not
so to resume, inequality matters for shit, every american lives like bill gates and donald trump, everything is going baller, the 14 trillion debt is just a sign of how baller everything really is |
If inequality matters so much to quality of life, how come Denmark, Netherlands, and Germany are better places to live than Hungary, Slovakia, etc.? Again, if everyone makes the same wage, there is no inequality technically, but if that wage can't buy you shit that doesn't matter then does it?
Total debt also doesn't mean shit. Debt as a percentage of GDP is what matters.
