Headline is slightly misleading:
>A United Nations official investigating poverty in the United States was shocked at the level of environmental degradation in some areas of rural Alabama, saying he had never seen anything like it in the developed world.
i.e., the worst poverty the official had ever seen in the developed world, not the worst according to some comprehensive study.

- scythe 9y agoWell, the choice would have been for the article to have a factual title or get flagged off the front page. HN seems to have chosen the second option.
- dogecoinbase 9y agoUgh, yeah, what would those United Nations officials whose job it is to investigate poverty know about poverty.
