$15k in Kansas city wouldn't even get you a studio apartment, let alone the extras like food or water. Doubling "can't even get a roof over your head" isn't exactly something to be proud of.
But sure, for one person, you're living the life at a bit over 2x the poverty level pre-tax.

And yet the meaning was clear - why argue about it?

What was imprecise about $30k being poverty level for a family with two children?
- dragonwriter 3y ago> What was imprecise about $30k being poverty level for a family with two children? What was imprecise about “if you have the audacity to have two children,” is that that can be a household size of anything from 3 up, depending on the number of dependent adults on the single earner. $30,000/yr is the poverty line for a household size of four, not any of the other possibilities within the scope of that description.
