On top of that, statistics may not be the right tool. e.g. the average wealth between Elon Musk and I are around 2.5 Billion.
First, that's not how the median wage that is used in poverty rates is calculated, second, I doubt Elon Musk's wealth is 5 billion and yours is zero, you seem a bit confused on what you're trying to point and how. Third, thank you for accidentally admitting the truth, that despite your gloom and doom things are getting in the right direction:
with 2018, a year of expansion
Fourth:
Also, you are speaking about poverty, not about social mobility.
You've started it:
having an average job does not get you much farther than the line of poverty.
High five!
You seem to be confused about the word "around" - in this context it means approximately. One post may actually speak about two topics without the need of mixing it. Anyway, if you really had something intelligent to say you would not be focusing on such minor details. I guess your next step might be arguing that my English is not perfect or that there are insufficient comas in my text?
Social mobility in Europe is far from great, but I guess that, since my own view is that it should be 100%, I will never be happy about it. Yes, I think that where and from whom someone is born should mean nothing for their future. No inheritance, no born-with privileges and enjoying only that that you earn yourself after a period of public and free education. Since this is impossible in my lifetime, I would at least like to see mobility and meritocracy work instead of being talk about.
