I've bored on before about my view that the hidden assumption of the Left is that economics is bad and nasty, therefore the worse and nastier you're being, the better economics you're doing.

The worst boss is always a squishy liberal acting how she thinks a hard nosed capitalist would.

It’s per person per year. These countries have higher than average access rates. 600m Africans lack access to power.
