You don't have a clue, do you?

I am aware of the changes in bankruptcy laws.

We have to get our terminology straight. We can use the US government's definition of "poor" and you call your demographic "near poor" or "working class poor" or some such. Or we can use your definition of "poor" and I can call my demographic the "really poor." But we can't continue with dueling definitions.

Now, back to the topic, my poor are not bothered by the changes in the bankruptcy laws. If all you have is an apartment and an old car, no savings, no prospect of getting any savings, and a huge medical bill, then bankruptcy still works. The new law matters to people who have credit card bills and homes and credit ratings. If you don't have those, that is you are "really poor," then you have nothing to lose.
