minus-squareShardikprime@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·8 months agoWow, so the previous government had a poverty percentage of 0? No, wait, they had 49% poverty by November 2023. And you tell me that after all these changes to reduce spend, it went up by 8%? I would have expected it to reach 90% to be honest.
