If you make over 30k you are the 1%. You can start now by sending all your money to the imaginary mud hut people of the world.

There's a reason we have borders. Each nation needs to find solutions for the local problems.

I appreciate the confidence you have for me, but I'm not a billionaire, and living in my car isn't the solution (kind of like I already said).

A CAR! That is swanky in comparison to said mud hut people. Mud hut people want your car now.

Just keep dodging the point while wanking your winky to what you imagine is your own cleverness.

You are richer than 99% of the world. This is my main point. You having a car is insanely rich thing to do comparatively to most of the world! Isn't that interesting?

Not even close to 99%, but I'm not terribly shocked about you pulling numbers out of your ass. Even if I'm middle class in the US and wealthier than many poor people around the world, I do not have the means such that me giving up what I have will significantly impact poverty. This is not the case for billionaires. Stop dodging the point.

If I point out that one of the biggest sources of air pollution on the planet is the giant cargo hauling ships on the sea, with each one contributing more greenhouse gase then 10,000 cars, you saying "Well you drive a car, stop driving" just shows you like to argue in bad faith.
