    Poverty is when you make less than $2/day.

    No, I will not consider PPP.

    No, I will not discuss the value-add of public services.

    No, I will not mention how someone ended up as a wage laborer on their own land.

    No, I will not evaluate the benefit of unpaid labor.

    If you’re not just handing one another big stacks of cash every day to describe your relations to one another, you’re poor. If you are, you’re rich.

    That’s just math. That’s just science.
