Somewhere I read, from somebody who had spent years in the “real” third world, that if you flush your toilet with drinking water (like 99% of Americans) you are not really poor.
The truly poor in the third world would think that a housing project with running water, electricity and central air was a dream palace.
Maybe instead of high school, we should send our entitlement youth to work in an African country. Might open their eyes to how great a nation we have had in the near past.
