What happens when you lack sufficient money. Minor forms are just an annoyance but extreme forms can cause hunger or premature death (like kids in Africa).
Types of poverty:
Pseudo-poverty: People like this make me mad- it's when you are living in a nice area or even own a house and all of your friends are rich or spoiled. But you are only middle-class or not as spoiled, and as a result complain or post on the internet that you are "poor" when instead you live in an area like southern Orange County CA.
Minor poverty: You struggle to afford casual things that all your middle-class (not rich/spoiled) friends have and usually live in an apartment that rents for less than $1500.
Moderate poverty: You need gov. assistance and live on food banks/food stamps. You likely are in a crime-ridden cheap area.
Severe poverty: You struggle to even eat or find a home. I don't think you would be able to access the internet and read this.
Absolute poverty: The stereotypical "kid in Africa". You're dead if you are at this level. Either major disease or starvation strikes you.

My family lives in minor poverty, but is at risk of being in "moderate". At least I'm not in severe or absolute poverty...

Poverty Belt is a growing term being used by people who live in the northeastern US to describe Central New York. Central New York is a geographical region of upstate New York which lies between the Catskill mountains and the Adirondacks. It is comprised of the cities Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Binghamton, Buffalo and Rochester (which is often referred to as Crotch-Chester). Common characteristics of this region which account for the name include scarcity of jobs, high unemployment, a shrinking population and a crumbling infrastructure. The "belt" part of the term comes from the way the aforementioned cities are horizontally situated close to the New York state thruway which runs from East to West through the middle part of the state.

The adult provert (who was mad at the store)dared a small kid to toss a rock through the store window. Then from a distance, watched the kid do it and get punished for it .
The proverted interrogator asked the innocent suspect if the suspect has ever stopped stealing from his employer (logical fallacy called a compound question). Knowing that either a yes or no answer will make the suspect look guilty to his employer but make the interrogator look good.
