that would be struggling

which it is not the case

So Bernie would be wrong

Also fuck mobrule

Sorry 5.50 dollars a day

Relative poverty is 15% but again thats due to the fact the median income is 60k

so that 15%, 90% of them would be upper middle class by the worlds standards

“over 40% cannot afford the basics to live.” Which turned out to be 40% of Americans (not more) can’t afford one basic necessity. He is correct, and you are saying other statistics that are also correct

Opinionated surveys are misleading and propoganda

No they can afford necessities

They cannot afford one basic necessity

They just base "necessities" such as iPhone X's

Read dude

or the latest Samsung TV's

it's opinionated

I have read it

it's misleading and propoganda

Alright you’re not wanting to read I can’t do anything for you :/

Sorry friend

I read it

It's literally a survey

You really didn’t

Clearly you didn't

it's a survey

opinionated

And considering the western world

defines being poor as not having an iPhone X

it's very unreliable

but the actual emperical data shows 2% of the population below $5.50 PPP a day in the US

that would be "barely meeting basic necessities"

I mean pretty sure the 40% has income ranges in the 70 thousands

or such

so if they won't meet basic needs, it seems sketchy

Another dumb tweet from Bernie https://twitter.com/berniesanders/status/1049803479273811968?s=21
@wahx

How on earth is this a problem? Firstly income inequality is literally a nothing issue , secondly if we didn't have income inequality. Things like plane faires etc would be very high or probably wouldn't exist

Infact many things right now wouldn't exist

Bernie is just clueless

*Back to your study again*
**"Some 39.4% of adults said their families had trouble meeting at least one basic need for food, health care, housing, or utilities last year. "**
Notice how this is only "one need", the most probable situation would be healthcare because the healthcare industry is an effect of socialism. The other needs are definitely met well.

And again as I said, their "needs" may be total anecdotal . For example, a food basic need may be not going to luxury restaurants or the "housing basic need" may be not living in a 600k house

It's purely based on opinion as it's a survey with no specific parameters

So Bernie would be wrong in reality, as in "40% of Americans do not meet basic living necessities" is flat out wrong
