That link/picture isn't crap, even if it is Fox News. That photo goes to the whole concept of what "poor" actually is. Poor can be defined as relative or absolute. We normally use it in the relative sense, so there are always poor people, but over the last 200+ years the standard of living of even the poorest among us has risen dramatically. Case in point - how many people who are poor somehow manage to own smartphones? That's basically the updated version of the fridge concept but it is still an extremely valid point. The woman in the article was able to become a "road gypsy". Would that have ever been possible prior to the 21st century in any scenario where she wasn't possibly facing starvation or at least malnutrition as she traveled the country? No.
