Poverty also includes having your neighborhood torn apart by junkies on opioids.

But I guess actually looking at the econometric data to compare apples to apples isn't worthwhile because you can stay indoors while your tires are stolen and watch Jessica Jones, so things are better than they used to be, right?

Yes things are better than they used to be. People living in bad neighborhoods spending time and money on entertainment need to prioritize better.

Companies spend billions of dollars in emotionally manipulative marketing campaigns in order to convince them not to prioritize better.

So are you saying that people need protection from themselves because they're too stupid to realize that they're being manipulated?
