Wealth is a zero sum game, And when 1% holds more than 50% of entire wealth then inequality becomes the root cause of every social issue as the 1% has enough incentives to preserve the status-quo.

If declining poverty means at the end forced to serve that 1% by shitting in bags because there's no toilet breaks, Then I'm not sure 'celebrating the decline in poverty' is on their minds.
