> The issue is not your ability to adapting in a situation where you're already engaging in privilege, but about whether it is reasonable to lower standards for the poor. What does this mean?

Not that it even makes sense. But in any case, even if someone has little choice, that doesn't mean that it's reasonable to say that a gift "imposes" on the receiver.
