In my parents generation, very few people finished high school and college degrees were rare. If we go back to the village now (in southern India), pretty much all the people my age go to college, have professional degrees and have generally moved away from the villages or abroad. But they all send money back and most everyone is visibly comfortable at this point.
I don’t know the answer but I’m sure they’re defined differently. Poverty in India means making less than $1.90 dollars a day. By those standards the UK would have zero poverty so their numbers are clearly self defined at a much higher standard than the UNDP global standard.
It’s the exact opposite. I don’t think anyone hates the Chinese people, just the CCP and primarily because it’s authoritarian and fast becoming the US’ main rival.

While actively campaigning against any form of net neutrality which is the layer on which this argument should be made. The GOP are transparent, politically pukeworthy cretins at this point. Just thinking about them makes me want to spit.
Management is definitely not easier. It’s dealing with abstractions around intractable problems that aren’t well defined as well as people at the same time. IC work feels easy after this which is why so many managers go back to being ICs all the time.
