Never. America is run by corporations and they need poverty to exist to create desperation and avoid paying fair wages

lolno. The trick about poverty is that you can simply move the benchmark and claim you've solved it. What is "extreme poverty" defined as?

This, it's the same as the minimum wage argument.

If you're making $251/year and "extreme poverty" is defined as making <$250/year then technically you're "above the poverty line" but your life hasn't changed in any meaningful way.

Chinas poverty line is set at about US$2.30 a day slightly above the World Banks lowest threshold of US$1.90 but below what is recommended for measuring higher-income countries.

Yeah, I read the article, but that's the poverty line, not the "extreme poverty" line.

Since 2015, the World Bank has defined extreme poverty as people living on $1.90 or less a day, measured using the international poverty line.

It's the same thing.

Yep, poor people aren't resorting to catching rats for food in rural villages.

It's easy to claim you eliminated something when you just sweep it under a rug and disappear anyone who tries to report on it.

Some rural parts of China rival some of the poorest parts of Africa.

And yes, that is a dead rat in that little girls hands.

They aren't though. China hasn't truly been communist since the 90's. They're an authoritarian dictatorship (especially since Winnie the Xi named himself God Emperor for Life). Opening your own business in China is easier than in most western countries.

Why is it that he can hit a 3rd baseman on a frozen rope from 300 feet away, but he can't hit a 12 foot tall catcher from 60 feet 6 inches away?
