You don't live where I live. I see plenty of poverty. Our local food bank is projected to feed 20,000 this year. I work at a local soup kitchen and I see who comes in and how much food it takes to feed them. So good on you that you aren't subjected to the underbelly of humanity.

I don't see much of it where I live on Long Island, but I've seen a lot of it in Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, etc. Trailers, houses falling down, depressed towns, etc.
