It could be: people in other countries are getting richer, and Americans are getting poorer. After all, there are 6 billion people in the world and the population in US is about 0.4 billion.
actually that doesn't show the whole picture.
if the cost of the item in question...
like computers and other high tech items.
gets cheaper, quicker, than the value of the dollar declines.
then their price goes down regardless
The linked article says it's because of stock market appreciation, and "Yet just 10 percent of the U.S. population owns 80 percent of stock market wealth. ". That's probably why majority of American don't feel getting richer.
who ever made this chart is full of it . extreme poverty is below $1.9/day ? I can make you chart with extreme poverty below $0.01/day and there will be no poverty at all on this planet .
but if using the dollar - as in this chart - from 1970 until today.....
and the dollar has devalued massively since 1970 - then on that standard - there is no other way for the graph to go.......as it devalues, the 'poverty level' will decrease.
living on a dollar a day in 1970 is not the same as livin' on a dollar a day now..
You are absolutely right @everittdmickey liberals only look after their self interest and promoting only those entities which may be benifited them. You will scratch my back and i will your

ya think?
Americans' net worth up 1.4 percent to $94.8 trillion
actually that doesn't show the whole picture.

Computers...for example.

you misunderstand.
the chart merely depicts what it WAS
and what it IS.

Just sayin'...
hmmm.
math hard.
but I think you have it backwards.
math hard . i think you are correct. - in how I described it ... lmao
my logic Is correct, honest...
ok lets say (for sake of argument, and prob close to accurate), $1 in 1970 is now the same as $15 dollars today....
We need to see how many people live on $15 a day or less
That will change the numbers now in 'poverty greatly - and is far more accurate.
My logic was correct - but my initial description was woefull ! lol
I knew there was sense in there... somewhere...
my head hurts.
IT's YOUR FAULT.
I'm gonna go pout.
😂😂😂
Pretty sure those charts are adjusted for inflation.
