45% of the US in poverty, and 1/4 of the population dies every year.

Why would anyone believe ANYTHING these people say?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Well, 50% is below the median income.

[EvilCapitalist]

77,500,000 people die every year?

[where's_the_Outrage?]

The vast majority of Americans have no idea what is real poverty. IMHO if you have a large screen TV, smart phone, etc, you aren't living in poverty. Go to a 3rd world country like Thailand to see poverty:

Yeah, and polls show 362 million Biden supporters.

Or ask any Westpac sailor about shit river.

Dying yearly must be a harrowing experience. i guess one would get used to it.

Well, if you add up Biden’s 150,000,000 dead from ‘gun violence’ since the assault weapons ban expired and his 200,000,000 will be dead by the end of my speech, MSNBC’s numbers are a little light.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Like the old joke: A woman gives birth in the US every 9 minutes. We’ve got to find that woman and stop her!

[Bookshelf]

I know that MSNBC is playing the equal opportunity game, but for God’s sake can’t they book some intelligent Blacks?

[ClearCase_guy]

I’ve been making jokes that, due to voter fraud, Biden may get 400 million votes this year.

If that happened, the MSM would just report it and move on like there was nothing odd about it at all.

[ealgeone]

It’s been in all the papers....haven’t you been keeping up?

[fhayek]

No one dies in America of starvation, unless they are like a crack addict. No one. If someone died of starvation in America, it would be the lead story on the CBS news.

Poor people in America are infinitely more likely to die of morbid obesity.

TIFFANY CROSS: people are hungry and starving?" Actually with over 42% of Americans being obese, the "starving" claim is not usually made, having been replaced with the assertions of "food insecurity:" 10.5 percent (13.7 million) of U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2019. Significantly down from 11.1 percent in 2018." (https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/food-security-in-the-us/key-statistics-graphics.aspx)

Some time ago i did research into how agencies come up with such figures and the crafty way some agencies raise funds to "help the hungry" in the US use such findings and I found them quite contrived. How many Americans do NOT experience hunger, or how many well-fed souls would say they sometimes "do not have enough food of sufficient quality and quantity"...," or had to put things back on the rack because they did not have enough money (that can mean with them) to buy them all, or did not know where their next meal was coming from (that could even mean McDonalds, Papa Ginos, etc)? There is the relative poor, as we were growing up, but the figures are exaggerated for funding purposes.

At length examination here, by God's grace. Food hunger in America: More Hype than Reality. Why?

[Afterguard]

Geeze! Haven’t heard that in decades! while on deployment to to the PI I lived in the aircrew BEQ just 370 steps at a dead run from the shit river bridge. Olongapo City!

[shanover]

Look at these two clowns!!!!

I reserve the right to not say more.

[CurlyDave]

From the background of his video, the good Rev. Barber seems to have done quite well at lifting himself out of poverty.

Possibly he could share his secrets with those still trapped in poverty so they could get out...

[Right Wing Assault]

Well, he's got science on his side. Can't argue with that.

[lurk]

I’ve been in the slums in India. Let’s talk about poverty.
