- Someone1234 12y agoSounds like a nice way to dismiss all Western poverty ever. Have running water and electricity? Clearly not poor... Just pick anything that 90%+ of the population have: internet, electricity, gas, water, a car, heating, a telephone line, etc and then declare it your "line" for poverty.
- waterlesscloud 12y agoThat's not the point under discussion.
- Someone1234 12y agoWhat exactly is the "point under discussion" then? Because it sounds pretty close to that if that isn't it.
- andywood 12y agoI don't think TVs were ever really a luxury in the US, except in contrived Internet arguments about the lifestyles of 10th century kings, where they absolutely always were.
