Two friends that haven't seen each other in a long time. One just got back from Peace Core.
"Ya, the people in the village have it rough, being in abject poverty, but they kept such a mellow and kind attitude while I was there."
"I can definitely relate, I was in poverty growing up. Dad unemployed by 2008 recession and all."
"Man, you were no where close to a starving African child back then, with your relative poverty. Absolute poverty is not the same. What?--someone dies every ten minutes from a car crash--when 130 die--of only children (age <5) in the same time."
"Holy shit. Why didn't I think about joining?"
"Mehh, it doesn't matter now. What's done, is gone. You could do other stuff to help lessen extreme poverty though."

Every time I look at that unlabeled poverty button on my dash, I'm reminded of the heated seats I couldn't afford.

People more commonly use the term ghettos. The term is incorrect when describing Blacks in America. Blacks live in concentrated areas of poverty. Not ghettos that is a term that was used to describe where Jewish people lived.
