people are dying of starvation in Netherlands?

• DoreenMichele 7y ago
  In the US, homeless people have a much lower life expectancy than housed people and other categories of poor people also generally have lower life expectancies. You don't have to be pronounced dead from literal starvation for poverty to kill you. I guess that's a "yes, well-heeled people really are completely oblivious to what actual poverty means." Which would explain an awful lot of super shitty policies in the world.

    you are really reaching here, Lower life expectancy doesn't mean "dead in a few months". Are you really saying poor ppl in Netherlands have a life expectancy of few months? Also, lol at all your other irrelevant points, I grew up in one of the poorest parts of Africa. You clearly have no idea what poverty means. Funny how ppl who lived all their lives in a first world country think they know what poverty is.

      I'm saying homeless people can die on the street in fairly short time frames and being concerned that such circumstances are a genuine threat to survival isn't just someone being completely histrionic or deluded.

        Yes I agree with you. I shouldnt have been cynical/dismissive in my original comment.
