For Jesus to say to his followers, the world will never improve is quite a pessimistic prediction. I don't think that's the right attitude so I figure it's probably a misinterpretation.

You are misinterpreting what is meant by the poor. The poor are a fluid group. A person may become sick and need charity only until he recovers. A woman may become widowed and return to her family for both subsistance and help with children until she remarries. A person may be financially oppressed by unjust laws which require overturning by a group of just power brokers. A person may become permanently disabled and require lifetime assistance. Some are born retarded, some lose all they own to fire or flood, some are victims of clever frauds or outright theft, and on and on.

These are facts of life and will always be with us.
