You said 80% of the planet, China + first world nations is much more than 20% of the planets population. If you said 50% it would have been different.

Did he say 80%? That’s definitely pretty high. China by itself is already about 20% of the world population.

The part I quoted was: "That's a luxury life for 80% of the planet."

So yeah he said that.

Well, 71% of the world’s surface is ocean and about 10% is desert. So that’s over 81% of the planet. I think we can now both agree that you are completely wrong and I am completely right.
