If the World Had Only 100 People in It [Video]

by Mike Richard

A fascinating microcosm of the world, assuming there were only 100 people in it. It’s humbling, shocking and, in the end, just sad.

The most staggering figure in my opinion: “6 people own 59% of the entire wealth of the community.”

It’s definitely worth a look, even if you’ve already seen it.

Leftist populism mostly.
And seems like prepared for stupid Westerners who cannot think about %’s so they need a village of 100 residents to imagine that.
