I guess I might be often missing the part that like even if you're the poorest here, like you're technically still richer and have better qol that many other jurisdictions. Reminds me of Dracula where he's in the shitty ghetto apartment that is depressing af and he's beaming like "Kings never knew such luxury"

Still though particularly in places like Appalachia or rougher cities, its terrifying. America is realky liberty or death with few in-betweens
