That’s not how math works. Half the population is 50% not 1%

I was talking about the global 1% since that’s usually what those kind of stats are aimed at

Are you implying that the climate crisis is a global issue? I thought it’s all about recycling

They’re talking about the top 1% of Germany VS the top 1% of the world. If you reframe your thinking to be about the world instead of just your country, you might find your position as one of the 99% percent changing. I don’t make much in the USA, I certainly wouldn’t call myself rich, but just being employed, above minimum wage, and single means I’m probably above that threshold.
