idk man poverty in the us is not as bad as in india but it sure is worse than east europe. there is a dude here stating inequality is not bad, perhaps they’d want to visit communist countries to see how wide the gap is between regular folks and the elite
- inglor_cz 6y agoHave you ever visited a gypsy village in eastern Slovakia or in the Balkans? You know, the huts that barely stand? Or some of the most notorious housing projects? That is a trip straight to the Middle Ages. Look at the following videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ7WHKU_UoY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ7WHKU_UoY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Men6iwpLjno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Men6iwpLjno Eastern Europe has some really bad places. IDK if USA is worse, but it would have to try.
- pietrovismara 6y agoThose are gypsy and you can find the same exact type of camps/villages in Western Europe, no need to go to Eastern Europe. Their condition doesn't really depend on the poverty level of the country they live in, but other factors such as cultural and integration issues, not always caused by them. In short, not a really good example of poverty.
- inglor_cz 6y agoI am a Czech, I know gypsies well, I had several classmates from all sorts of gypsy families - from very well integrated to the ghetto standard. I would argue that multigenerational poverty in contemporary West has always something to do with cultural and integration issues. Plenty of refugees who came with a small bags of personal items have built middle class lives in a generation, even though they were foreign, did not know the language and faced crude racism from primitives.
