The article says, “In the U.S. such a measure would translate to about $16,000 per year.” No. $1.50 per day per household is not the same as $45.00 per day. I see what they did. They zeroed in on 29% of median income. That’s a nice trick to make their argument stronger, but it makes no sense. $1.50 per day is $1.50 per day regardless of the median income. This article tells us what would probably happen if you gave a family $1.50 per day. It says absolutely nothing about what would happen if you gave them $45.00 per day
