Most important, the US federal poverty level of $14.5k is 2.5x the Russian median income.

Also, the Russian poverty rate is 12%. The poverty level is $2200.

Good point. I have traveled all the way around this planet. I know what real poverty looks like and it doesn't look like anything going on in TX or the US period. I would gladly accept being in poverty in the US compared to those places. I would be jumping for joy to be honest. Just living here you hit the jackpot.
