We really have no true “poor,” it will be the ones having trouble paying their smart phone payments that will riot.
Or can no longer buy $200 sneakers.
Yes...if you look at the graphs, there really aren’t any truly poor (in the context of a lower order world society).
It’s all just different levels of how many are on entitlements of some sort and who demand MORE.
It’s been said that urban areas in this country are only days away from a complete breakdown in terms of the support they demand. Take away the ability to replenish and restock shelves, stop those continual entitlement payments and you have a full blown zombie outbreak in a month.
Maybe then people will realize this Zombie fascination in entertainment is just a metaphor for a completely real potential problem that has nothing to do with ‘undead,’ but rather the ‘disentitled.’
So true. Those in this country we call poor are better off than 99% of people around the world.
Many of our poor spend their money on tats, manicures, hair extensions, and other luxuries. The charts don’t show a category for money made illegally and not declared.
Agreed, in Haiti these people would be considered Upper Class.
