Maybe it's just me but this seems like a fairly pedantic point. I guess if you're not familiar at all with issues of domestic and international poverty you might make the mistake of comparing these numbers but I've never had a real conversation with someone who confused the two.
I grew up well below the poverty line in the USA and it was pretty self evident that I was not leading the same kind of lifestyle as someone in poverty in a developing country.
I think your point is mostly true but I'm also just not sure how useful it is.
- JamesBarney 6y agoI think a question many of us in this thread are asking ourselves is, would this work in the U.S. and the OP made a comment relevant to this point.
- DubiousPusher 6y agoI don't think they did. The OP merely conjectured that there were none in poverty in the U.S.A. according to a study from the Brookings Institute, promoted by Forbes. They didn't connect it at all to what this might then imply for America. It's a strange injection to the subject. America would likely need its own study and that's probably the most that can be said.
