    Do you have any data in what you’d call most? The majority are well fed, own homes, and are perfectly fine purchasing clothes and getting a shower.

      Most people dont have the means to move to a place with more opportunities. Thats related to but different to them being in hunger levels of poverty.

      I own a home and have all of those things, a job i really like, but i dont feel like i had much say in it. This (low paid office) job for me was a golden opportunity i could nog afford to take. I have disabilities and if not for this I would have no choice then remaining unemployed.

          Do you collect information about statements you did not make?

          You misread the nuance in my comment, your are making this into a strawman

            No. I’m not. You keep tossing most of there with zero evidence. The rest does not matter to me if your premise is based on fake news.

              “The majority are well fed, own homes, and are perfectly fine purchasing clothes and getting a shower.”

              This statement, that you made on response to me is not one i disagree with. The issue is that it has nothing to do with my premise. I am not arguing and wont against it so there is no point in taunting me to do so.

              I belong to the “most” i was talking about and I have all of the above and more needs met but what i don’t have is the choice to stop working for my employer without significantly harming the survivability of my family.

              But since you really insist on additional details:

              For the land of the “free”

              https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/25/your-money/emergency-savings.html

              Most people dont have emergency savings (journalist words) save to say long term unemployment is a scary idea and it be quite a challenge to relocate to an area with better jobs.

              Ive seen more then 50% trown around as the number for This but it depends on who measures when and how.

              For most of the world:

              This one has stats about how most people only speak one language, but was a source really necessary to know that?

              If your born in india as the lowest cast not being given a education, you only speak indian do you really think you have the choices beyond maybe working in scam call center?
