In Scandinavia, drugs don't ensure that some people are poor.

Some people choose to spend the $30 on drugs instead of pizza, of course-- but there really is no poverty here.

Let me ask again.

Are you guys saying this video ABC report from Chicago about A food bank Chicago emptied of food is a lie?

Do know that unemployment runs 70% among people with partial disabilities trying to find work? What do you think these perpetually unemployed partially disabled people are doing, living off their trust funds?

I think you misread me. When I said "there's no poverty here", I was speaking of Scandinavia.

Here in Norway, the perpetually unemployed partially disabled people are well looked after, and can afford the $30 pizzas as well as anybody else.

Just because this food bank doesn't have food doesn't mean there are millions of people starving in Chicago. There are a myriad of reasons for why the food bank might not have food, chief among them is that in a major recession like we have been experiencing, fewer people donate.

Do people exist in the US who are consistently hungry? Yes. Do they starve on a regular basis? No. It has nothing to do with whether your link is a lie or not.

Does unemployment run 70% among people with partial disabilities? I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear that 70% of people with partial disabilities who are trying to find work are unemployed. It doesn't sound like a particularly useful stat. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that 70% of all people who are trying to find work are unemployed. They are looking for work after all.
