Consumption is a proxy for access to resources, and is downstream of all transfers, which is why the World Bank uses it as the preferred metric for wellbeing.

The second website just summarizes the first paper, which is primary source. For your sake, I recommend attacking the substance of the argument rather than the entity making the argument.

For your sake, I recommend attempting to convince people with more than a 44 page economics pdf and oil propaganda (that article literally has green energy as the number 1 reason for the consumption disparity). Thanks
