    That Bangladesh number better be inflation adjusted, otherwise that's actually a 400% decrease in GDP per Capita (which even most neolibs now know is pointless because a society with 100 million peasants making $10/day and 100000 aristocrats making $100,000/day would read as everyone making 10x what they actually are)

        There is a bit of a shift with them to use PPP when the numbers are on their side, but they'll still use GDP as a fallback in a pinch
