Ask the folks in Kibera how they would enjoy what we call "poverty" and you'll see the emptiness of the concept.


It's not a moving goalpost so much as it is contingent on localized standards of living.

I'm going to stop defending the poverty line as a useful indicator because I think things like HDI are far more important... so that just brings us back to universal health coverage.

Well you also have to remember that the national unemployment rate is currently > 6%. So in reality, only 4% of the population works and makes less than that.

This is the point. What would life have been like without welfare?

Shit, but 1 of my parental units worked. They weren't unemployed. They are just fucking idiots that had 7 kids and a bunch of credit card debt.
