Stark Photo taken this week in Knoxville tells a different story about the Economy

When the economy is good it doesn’t mean it’s good everywhere. When the economy is in recession there are people/groups that do very well. It’s the nature of the beast

Air Conditioning, Cable TV, and an Xbox: What is Poverty in the United States Today?

the typical household defined as poor by the government had a car and air conditioning. For entertainment, the household had two color televisions, cable or satellite TV, a DVD player, and a VCR. If there were children, especially boys, in the home, the family had a game system, such as an Xbox or a PlayStation.[4] In the kitchen, the household had a refrigerator, an oven and stove, and a microwave. Other household conveniences included a clothes washer, clothes dryer, ceiling fans, a cordless phone, and a coffee maker.

I seriously doubt any of those people have payed taxes in the last 10 years, if ever. And I'd like to ask them if this is something new for them or if they have been doing things like this for years

Not a basic need, both my grandparents grew up without them!

As did most of our ancestors. Of course, many used horse drawn plows, and before that they were pushed by hand. Then guess what? Technology advanced, and life got better.

What you dumb fucks that hate seeing a person live a decent life, and not dying from heat stroke, or some illness, ignore is that most of this shit, even the car, can be bought for less then $100.00. Many times one can get them for free. So it matters less what your ancestors lived with, and made possible a better life for a lazy dumb ass like you. It is the idea that they did so.

And they were the generations that cared less about how much they had, they cared more about how much they could give.
