    I’d never frame the argument this way to anyone I respected but I did stumble on to something pretty decent with the there’s no poverty in blue cities, everyone is fat and has iPhones.

    Each year for the past two decades, the U.S. Census Bureau has reported that over 30 million Americans were living in “poverty.” In recent years, the Census has reported that one in seven Americans are poor. But what does it mean to be “poor” in America? To the average American, the word “poverty” implies significant material deprivation, an inability to provide a family with adequate nutritious food, reasonable shelter, and clothing. The actual living conditions of America’s poor are far different from these images. But an effective anti-poverty policy must be based on an accurate assessment of actual living conditions and the causes of deprivation. In the long term, grossly exaggerating the extent and severity of material deprivation in the U.S. will benefit neither the poor, the economy, nor society as a whole.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The typical poor household, as defined by the government, has a car and air conditioning, two color televisions, cable or satellite TV, a DVD player, and a VCR. By its own report, the typical poor family was not hungry, was able to obtain medical care when needed. The typical average poor American has more living space in his home than the average (non-poor) European has.

    Cali has 1/8th of the US population and 1/3rd of the welfare cases. Build it and they will come. Want more pigeons, put out more pigeon food.

    Look how stupid these two are. THIS IS FROM THE SAME THREAD.

    What’s your point, Ara Zobayan?

    Do you really want to see stupid? Tell me why anything I said in this thread is "stupid." What's makes it stupid? Watch this space closely because you're going to witness a great example of stupidity.

    The part where you whined about poverty in blue states and then mocked the idea of poverty in America. That’s the stupid part, blob.

    Told ya that you'd see a great example of stupidity. I didn't "whine" about poverty in blue states. I merely pointed out that while you were busing pimping how great blue states are and how much wealthier they are than those awful Red states, California has some of the highest rates of poverty in America.

    I didn't create the US poverty line my stupid little Kunt of a friend, but for purposes of discussion we can use it as a baseline for who does and who does not live in Poverty in America.

    Do you deny that poverty in America looks a hell of lot different than poverty in Africa Kobe? Now go run and hide Kunt.

    “Blue cities aren’t doing that well, lots of people in poverty there”

    “People in poverty in America have great lives and are doing well”

    You are educationally sub normal.

    Yes, if you're a fucking moron I can see how those two statements would confuse you. Maybe if quit dodging the question you've been asked you might be able to educate yourself.

    If you're going to live in poverty would you rather live in poverty in America or in the Sudan? What we call "poverty" in America would be considered very luxurious in most other parts of the world. Do you deny this?

    Btw, no one said that people in poverty in America are living "great lives" but you're a strawman ass fucker and this is just what you do.

    Apparently the term "subsidy" is new to you, @TheKobeStopper

    Let’s get rid of farming subsidies and see how that 30% of America’s wealth in red counties holds up.

    OK I'm in. Most subsidies go to mega farm Biden donors anyway

    Farm subsidies impact only a handful of US crops. Plenty of Red agricultural counties would hold up just fine. Now quit dodging the fucking question you were asked.

    Convenient timing.

    You'll starve to death, you fucking idiot. But okay.

    And where you gonna get your carbon-reducing ethanol, stoopid?

    Yep, and the overwhelming majority of all farm production receives no subsidies.

    Biggest scam is ethanol. Both parties are in on the scam. Billions to Iowa and Midwest millionaire corn farmers.

    I object. You think Biden is going to end them? Btw, how much subsidies do potato farmers receive?
