Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds

Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90% Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential. The authoritative World Inequality Report 2026, based on data compiled by 200 researchers, also found that the top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90% combined, while the poorest half captures less than 10% of total global earnings.

I’m hoping that sharing the first issue will convince any G.I. Joe collectors out there who might have a copy of issue 3 of the G.I. Joe manga, to scan and send it in.

Oh bollocks I'm gonna have to review this aren't I ?

The G.I. Joe manga is just like the Marvel comic, with a few key differences:

The names are different
Not many of the toys are featured
It follows an original character
It isn’t very good

With that in mind, enjoy the English translation of G.I. Joe manga Issue 1, by Hisaji Ueda.

"Oh, crap Dad, I turned a whole bucket of water into wine, got totally wasted, angry drunk and that's why Atlantis isn't there anymore."

Sid Meier. Played Civilization 1 on the Amiga so much I wore out the disks. Played Civ games so much that if I had used that time to go to med school end then do med research I would have cured cancer by now.
