Fake news.
We are such a soft, decadent society.
If you're just "getting by" on an income that's 125% over the poverty line, you don't know poverty.

For a single person to "get by" according to this: $29,057 income per year, which is $14 an hour, $7,217 over NM's minimum wage ($10.50).
$29k a year will support a family of four with $2,500 to spare. It's 125% over the poverty line for an individual.

The analysis is based on $600 a month in rent (ABQ averages $1k). Pretty high for "getting by."
Get a roommate & it's $500. Get five roommates, put down $1,500 each, and buy a house.

The analysis is also based on $316 a month in food.
No single person who's trying to "get by" should be spending $300 a month on food.
We have a family of four and spend $500. Stop eating out. Stop buying pre-packaged shit.
