Yep, this is what I wrote:

It's the most affluent in history in that for the first time the planet produces a surplus of resources, we have enough food that there shouldn't be any poverty, we have enough food to feed everyone and have some left over. The problem is, as you say, the top 1% has it all. But even then in the last 25 years extreme poverty has fallen from 50% to 10%.

Pretty clear if you ask me. People seem to go into these conversations with an agenda and with a view to get upset and therefore ignore anything which will sate their umbrage.
