Ah I think I follow. So PPP-adjusted stands for (purchasing-power-parity-adjusted), and it means that it normalizes the cost of a broad basket of goods. So inflation-adjusted in this context means prices normalized across countries, not $$$-inflation over time.

edit: whenever we post these, that's usually the argument, that things cost more in the global north. But these figures already adjust for that, otherwise the ratio would be probably 1000s of times more.

dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
