Poor is looking your children in the face and telling them they won’t eat today or snuggle each other to stay warm while the heat is being “fixed”.
Not poor is you are telling them to cut back on their data usage.
Yes exactly. My brother-in-law was raised a sharecropper’s son during the depression and said as a kid his whole family including his mother packing a baby would work in the fields all day and then come home and night and sometimes his mother would just tell them there was nothing to eat and they missed a lot of meals. He said they were eating good if they had corn meal mush or beans. If they had a chicken even without fixin’s it was a feast.
