Well, thanks for sharing misinformation.

Meanwhile, in the actual study (provided free via any search engine of your choice):

collapsed inline media

Also directly from the study you didn't read:

"It is important to understand that the DLS represents a minimum floor for decent living. It does not represent a an aspirational standard and certainly does not represent a ceiling. However, it is also a level of welfare not currently achieved by the vast majority of people. A new paper by Hoffman et al finds that 96.5 percent of people in low- and middle-income countries are deprived of at least one DLS dimension."

So no, nobody is coming to take your gaming rig, and no, the majority of people on Earth would get an UPGRADE in living conditions, not a downgrade.

Here is a link if you cannot access a search engine.

So you're a condescending asshole. That's all. I'm not gonna engage with you further. Have a day as wonderful as yourself. I will note that everything is said was in your picture. Douche.
