Are you serious? Because wow that's off by a few megaparsecs...
A lot of people don't have enough disposable income to get them adequate amounts of food. Kids making toys out of garbage, just to have a toy. To share.
- ghufran_syed 3y agoDo you feel there's any difference between "income" and "disposable" income? I would take it to mean income after paying taxes, and paying for housing, food, clothing, what definition are you using? I suspect the parent comment is using a similar definition to mine
- spacebanana7 3y agoYeah my theory uses a definition of disposable income similar to what you’ve expressed.
