Hmmm, now that you mention it, I think they do have toilets and showers, as well. If not actual baths. In private bathrooms that have doors that lock. Also forgot to mention electric lights, with switches and everything. In the US, minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. If two adults live in a household, and both work full time, that is $14.50 times 40 times 52 = $30,160 per year. Poverty level for a family of four in the US is $22,350 (total yearly income not counting non-cash income). It appears to me that poverty level is set, arbitrarily, at 75% of minimum wage. Below that rate, you are impoverished, above that rate, you are not. Regardless of what it costs to actually live. How do people wind up in that situation? Well, of course we do have unemployment in the US, due to the recession, where people are simply unable to find work. This is not to deny that many are unemployed or employed at bare minimum for existence due to factors beyond their control, such as mental illness, physical illness, low IQ, advanced age. On the other hand, if a woman (girl, really) makes a baby before she gets a reasonably sufficient education with a sperm-squirter who squirts and runs, she's almost guaranteed a life of poverty, unless she's a movie star. When I read that babies are being born, at an increasing rate, into poverty, my solution is . . . wait for it . . . stop having babies. Educated women with good jobs can't afford to have babies without the father sticking around to help, in some way, even if just to send a monthly check, and most of them don't -- have babies under such circumstances, that is. Two thirds of low income African American children live in single mother households, vs. 10% of kids in households with two parents. hellobeautiful.com Not a race thing, I don't think. I think educated black women don't have babies with sperm squirters any more than educated white women do. But which is cause and which is effect? Probably multi-factorial. And, probably, one baby without a dad in the picture AFTER you have gotten education and training is not going to break you if you can otherwise afford it. Child care for infants is VERY expensive, but if grandma or grandpa is in the picture, it can be done.
