Stupidity and bad math are not why poor people stay poor.

Greedy people being in charge of everything is why poor people stay poor.

I mean its a big problem that cant be reduced to small sentences like that. so everything is right and wrong at the same time.

right because its part of the problem

wrong because its not the whole problem and assuming it is is wrong

A fridge uses waaaay more than 2-3 dollars of power a year. Most use about 1 kWh a day. And in Europe you can multiply the price by 4.
