Read original comment ↗This reminds me of the Monty Python Four Yorkshiremen sketch, with 4 rich dudes bragging about who had the poorest childhood[1]. One could just as easily compare your poverty with that of people in the poorest places in the world. Oh, your kids get to go to school? Our kids spend their days digging through rubbish heaps. Oh your kid was taken away by CPS? Our kid died from inhaling toxic fumes from melting down the old computer parts they found digging through the rubbish heaps. Oh, you have a debit card fee? We're don't even have ATMs, or banks. Poverty is a spectrum. Just because X is poorer than Y doesn't mean Y isn't also poor. 1: [VIDEO]
