This doesn’t account for purchasing power. 25 grand a year can still be shit poor and deprived depending on where you live, your health, and how many dependents you have.
Out of context, stuff like this is just used to guilt poor people into feeling like they have no right to be angry about suffering and being exploited, because being angry about not being able to afford medicine you need akshually means you’re a spoiled whiner who needs to shut up and be grateful for the few scraps you get, because hey at least you’re not living in a hut with no running water. (See: that fox News segment that said “poor people in the USA aren’t actually poor because most of them have refrigerators”)
and like.. if you make that much and are doing that poorly, how are the other 98% doing?
