relative poverty

U.S. poverty (in contemporary society)

Two friends that haven't seen each other in a long time. One just got back from Peace Core.
"Ya, the people in the village have it rough, being in abject poverty, but they kept such a mellow and kind attitude while I was there."

"I can definitely relate, I was in poverty growing up. Dad unemployed by 2008 recession and all."

"Man, you were no where close to a starving African child back then, with your relative poverty. Absolute poverty is not the same. What?--someone dies every ten minutes from a car crash--when 130 die--of only children (age <5) in the same time."

"Holy shit. Why didn't I think about joining?"

"Mehh, it doesn't matter now. What's done, is gone. You could do other stuff to help lessen extreme poverty though."

When you put a hotdog bun in a waffle iron and pour syrup all over it

Poverty

Something Americans think exists in their country, yet every "poor" person has the newest IPhone, a car, internet, a TV, and enough money to pay for drugs. Poverty is more rare in America than we think. A "poor" American would be rich in Mexico. Stop complaining about how "poor" you are when you own the newest IPhone, a car, and a TV.

James: I'm so poor dude.

George: Man you don't know what real poverty is like, you own a car, an IPhone, and a TV, and you have plenty of money for drugs.

Rashid: Yes, my family came from India and when our crops failed, we sometimes had to eat only one piece of bread per day. So stop complaining about how "poor" you are just because you can't own a Lamborghini.
