21. So if the apt. you rent from a slumlord in a high crime area

has an ancient, rusted window air conditioner, which burns up electricity so fast you don't dare run it, plus hasn't had the freon topped off in years, HEY! You de facto are NOT poor because you have air conditioning! And you have roaches and rats too, but the landlord throws those in for free, and ain't life GRAND in the good ole US of A. Thank god you're not in some third world country and STFU.

And if the only entertainment you can afford is from a very old, NON high definition TV, with basic cable you are just as non-poor as the guys with 3 big screens, and premium cable service.
