I like how you conveniently gloss over the $100/month folks.

And the $1k/month folks are still having a hard time buying a $300k house to get married and have children, while taking care of the elderly parents. Meanwhile they know about the party princelings driving around in lamborghinis and buying fendi bags to show on social media. Oh yeah, the $100/month folks know too. And they know about the yearly flooding that kills.

You think people struggling now is going to remember the bad times before? Nope. That’s not how human natures like envy, anger and disgust works.

'Poverty alleviation' is one of their current blockbuster initiatives that gets massive air time. TV shows, documentaries, news reports, all focused on how committed the government is to fighting it.

How much is actually happening? Fuck knows. The government controls the press and the metrics coming out.
