You’re not worrying about finding your next meal? Great, now you have time to worry about whether you’re eating the “right” foods. Organic, gluten-free, keto, paleo — pick your nutritional niche.

We’ve traded one set of very real, immediate problems for a whole host of abstract, existential ones.

We would have been called poor here in Australia. 7 kids and one working parent who was a high school teacher. Slept 4 to a room my whole childhood.

That being said, poor is pretty relative. We have a very good public health care system here, so it's not like being poor in the US, for example.

I don't talk about it much. But yeah. I didn't grow up wealthy, and I'm not wealthy now. I'm comfortable and definitely have privilege now, and it's partly because I worked hard, but it's also partly because Australia has a government funded college debt program that doesn't bankrupt graduates and we have a good health care system. Otherwise, I don't know.

wow 🤯 i wouldn’t have guessed this. Yes being poor here in USA basically means an early death, no healthcare and added bonus human life isnt a priority, everything here is profit motive
