I think the point is that $1 a day is acceptable if it provides shelter/food etc.

  Which it doesn’t.

    It does in many very poor nations. What's the significance of the $1 figure anyway? Whose point hinges on this number?

    It doesn't IF it doesn't provide for said things. That's the point.

      I got the parent’s point; you missed mine ;) I was talking about the second part of the comment: $1 doesn’t provide you shelter/food/etc.
