So it’s not really giving everyone in the world an exactly equal share of resources. Not to mention there’s a natural component to inequality that’s independent of resources: location. A 10 m^2 per person shack is a lot more bearable on a beach in Southern California than it is in a desert or an insect-infested swamp.

Its not about giving people resources, merely estimating what it would take for everyone to meet DLS requirements if they live where they currently live.
