Usually? Dude, you're implying that most impoverished people deserve it without providing a shred of evidence. You saw it, huh? Sorry, idk what you saw, but your anecdotes are no basis for making such a sweeping and important claim about one of the most complex problems humanity faces.

I lived it in many locales and cultures for a large fraction of my life. Anecdotal but very good anecdotes.

So did I. And I've arrived to opposing conclusions. What makes your anecdotes more valuable or correct than mine?
