The USA continues to baffle me. You people still have paper checks? I haven’t seen one in at least 30 years in Europe (before that I was too little to care about such things, so I might never have seen one)

Now you’re just making things up.

A homeless person freezing to death on the winter streets in the US is as poor as a homeless person starving in Lebanon. Who cares if one of them has a banged-up smartphone. They’re both dying.

I’m not living there, don’t assume things. And why do you think obesity means wealth? The trash food that makes their people fat and unhealthy is very much an expression of poverty. The wealthy there east healthy food.

What good does a handful of billionaires’ wealth do the poor in the US?
