This simply isn't true, it's outlandish even, and is part of why moderation is tricky. Why do you believe this?

We are not 'fucked' even at the worst estimates.

In 1990 almost 2 billion people were on less than $2.00 per day.

Were we 'fucked' in 1990?

Are we currently 'fucked' with 700 million people on less than $2.00 per day.

When someone writes "we're fucked", the only completely wrong response is to assume "fucked" has a precise and technical definition. As a bit of language, it merely means "things will be shitty". What does "shitty" mean? C'mon… yeah, this is all relative.
