Using the “suffering” term was a bit extreme.

When I think of “suffering” people, I’m thinking countries like:

Zimbabwe
Myanmar
Sudan

Not the USA.

Are there poor here? Yes. But not on the order of magnitude seen elsewhere in the world.

Over the weekend I went with some folks in our church to serve at a homeless ministry outreach.

I saw plenty of people that were homeless - but I didn’t see any starving people. They were hungry for that day’s meal, and a good sized percentage were overweight.

Just my .02

Exactly.

Suffering with their cable, car, cell phone, laptops, liquor and fast food.

Our “poor” live better than the middle class in Africa....that’s EVERY country in Africa.
