What's "real poverty" these days, only having a 50" TV instead of a 65" one?
Having to still use last year's iPhone?
People who lived through the depression in the 20s and 30s would piss themselves at what MM calls "poverty".
Well, no they wouldn't, they'd be absolutely amazed that the same system that kept them in poverty was still in place, regardless of the advances in technology, i know this falls on deaf ears, but you really do need to read a little bit, and there was me thinking folk would learn from past mistakes, seems you gf are still believing the bull, carry on, i feel sorry for you.
I wish you could back to Jarrow or the East End of London back then to see what poverty actually is.
Or you could go to somewhere like India for some much-needed perspective.
I've travelled worldwide, i know what abject poverty is, i also know that i live (and lucky to do so) in one of the top ten richest countries on the world....we have people struggling to feed themselves and their families.....even while working their fingers to the bone....keep trying to excuse the basic crimes this gov't is subjecting it's citizens to.....for you to even try to do that is frankly shocking, though i'm not surprised.
