yeah but they are still using 1820 standards of poverty LOL fake statistics i say

Except it isn't. If you read any novel in the mid to late 1800's you'd discover that 10,000 GBP was what made somebody the richest people in existence in a time when there was much greater inequality than today. That is nothing. The 2 dollar poverty rate is the metric for today's absolute poverty.
