Pretty much all Americans have their basic needs more than covered and are living a good life either way, compared to someone in a favela outside Rio.

- jstx1 5y agoNo, that’s my entire point. When we’re talking about covering basic needs you can’t add “compared to” at the end. They’re either covered or they aren’t.
- oh_sigh 5y agoWhat basic needs aren't covered for Americans? Our poorest people are also our fattest, so it isn't food. Less than .2% of our population is homeless, so it isn't shelter. And there are state and privately run shelters for those .2%. Health care is state-provided and free if you have too low of an income, so it isn't health care. So...what is it exactly?
