> that poverty is not an absolute
In almost every country in the world there are people that:
Are almost dying because of a lack of food
Are almost dying because of being outside at the wrong time
I would call that poor.
I am speaking from second hand experience. And I am from The Netherlands, a country with a fairly good welfare system if you know how to deal with a bureaucratic system. There are a few people that can’t deal with that because of whatever undiagnosed issues they have.
People with a low and livable income are IMO not poor, depending on if there is a good healthcare system.
