You don’t have to go looking for people who’ve been living in flavor poverty their whole lives, they tell on themselves.

“easily” is a hell of a claim when the data shows nobody has actually done it.
the rest of this argument is pedantic to what kind of poverty you’re talking about. which a i’m fine with, but you should start with a shared set of terms and definitions…

lol. that’s crazy, and completely counter to your first posts about a 6 figure poverty line. By definition, if the poverty line is the money you need to keep yourself out of poverty then whatever you make above that is discretionary.

What I object to is 1) Your moving the goal posts from “materially wealthy” to “moderately rich”, 2) The idea that being rich or wealthy doesn’t allow you to manage your own risk of poverty, and 3) the assumption that you can actually eliminate poverty with a social safety net.

OK, if your point there was that a social safety net is everyone’s problem then I guess, sure. But that’s not how it read. It read like you were saying the social safety net should make it so wealthy people don’t lose their wealth. Which is a pretty common way that Americans view social safety nets

Ah. so the key to solving poverty then is making sure that the materially wealthy stay wealthy?
And somebody called me naive.

Again, the conversation was about the poverty line. Not the ways that the bad luck can fuck you in America.
It’s just a fucking ridiculous display of privilege to take a discussion about poverty and turn it around to be about protecting people who are MATERIALLY WEALTHY from poverty.

This isn’t about healthcare bankruptcy, it’s about poverty and the poverty line. I’m 100% believer in a strong social safety net that includes universal healthcare
What I find extremely naive, and frankly offensive, is acting like protecting the material wealthy from poverty should be the goal.

If someone is both “swimming in material wealth” and “one piece of bad luck away from total ruin” then the later is a choice that was made to maintain the former. period. the money required to have material wealth is adequate to both love on and to manage your catastrophic risk, if you want to.
