No one is starving. Plus they are 80% overweight and could miss some meals.

My wife grew up without running water or air conditioner in an open tin roof house with 7 siblings.

How many people do you think are videoing themselves complaining about losing snap…from an iPhone 15, 16 or 17? A 15 + monthly plan is probably $1200/yr and onwards, assuming poors don’t outright purchase their phones.

The OP didn’t even bring up designer clothing and accessories poor people love to buy. The only chance they have is to utilize them as a status symbol is driven by materialism. Or going out to a nice establishment for a meal they can’t afford, to take pictures and post them on their social media. Or going on trips they can’t afford, to take pictures to post on their social media. Fiscal responsibility is a massive issue in this country.

I make a very good salary and I’m wearing the same shite, using the same phone, driving the same car, etc, I did 5 years ago. Most of my liquidity is in investments and I bought a house at age 30, which is rare nowadays. The common response from the poors is I’m entitled and privileged, not to mention racist and bigoted. In reality, I just have a fully functioning brain

And don't forget the full sleeve or back tattoos that cost lots of money

They shoplift all that shite. Haven't you seen the videos. In California, if it's less than $995, it's basically free.

True, separate issue altogether though. One of the few things Muslims do right is how they punish thieves.

You are correct. There is no true poverty here, unless that person has chosen to live that way.

Ask your wife about 'the other side of the pillow'. We had no AC in New Iberia with 90 degree summer nights at 70% humidity. I bet she had to keep flipping that pillow over when it was getting sweaty.

And the richest have toy space ships and huge yachts by taking advantage of the workers and paying less taxes.

Also, don't mind laying off in masses for the shareholders or AI.

And they are in airplanes.

Constantly.

I didnt fly in a plane until I was like 17. And grew up upper middle class.

Now. Everyone is flying all the dang time clogging airports and flights. When you readability average savings being $1000acrossrhe country, honestly, a $1000 TV makes more sense for the lower class to have than taking multiple airline trips every year.

And Escalades. Dont forget the illegals in the nice hotels room service bills, and anything they wanted was ordered free for them off Amazon.

The democrats don't GAF about Americans they closed the govt to get thugs and terrorists, illegals health care.

Most GOP don't GAF either. They are paid to be against us.

4K TVs can be purchased for $350. That is the same, adjusting for inflation, that we paid for a portable black and white back with a 12 inch screen in the 70s.

…and no conscience, no desire to raise their children as productive citizens, no rational thought process, no idea how to be truly happy. They are the poorest, for these reasons and many more
