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

relative poverty

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."

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.
Well I'm headed to a well known concentrated area of poverty pray for me.
