In Reply to: US poverty rate? A national disgrace. posted by tinear on March 19, 2021 at 15:19:37:
I know it is rocket science... but if we set the poverty line at $10M a year, our poverty rate will skyrocket, get close to 100%.But it is far easier to blow your horn without thinking.
For those, capable of thinking... the poverty line in India is... $7.50 a month.
In UK that number is about $1,400 a month.
But that, again, requires some thinking...
