I don't think that people in Scandinavia are well informed about how life can be for the poorest outside of their country.

> bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life >>>for you<<<.

..and when asked this, I believe they consider how bad it can get for them in their country.

Based on my experience living and talking with people in Scandinavia and eastern europe.

"Scandinavians don't know that poverty exists" is a pretty wild claim.

True, although i do think its likely that its not top of mind. When things aren't relatable, its hard to take them into account in everyday life, even when you're factually aware of it.
