    United States owns 30% of the worlds wealth while having the 4.2% of the worlds total population, though. Does a group of people need more food ehen most of them are starving because a few of them hoarded 95% of it and are sitting on it doing nothing…?

      The claim was that you shouldn’t take Americans seriously when they say they need more money. I would say those Americans should be taken seriously if that’s what they say, especially the ones with full-time jobs who are still living in tents because the rent is too high.

        because the rent is too high.

        Move out of the major city. Nobody is entitled to live there. Supply and demand.

            Cool. Then you don’t have a significant issue of people working fulltime but can’t afford living quarters.

            Do the people in the picture you posted live in a major city? Cause that’s who I was referring to.

              Except yes we do. But you don’t believe me, so I’m not sure why you’re still arguing about it.

                Because you’re lying and I’m going to point it out as such.

                I don’t hold you above that behavior since you posted a picture of people in a major city then when it’s pointed out they’re in a major city you conveniently say “I don’t live in a major city and it’s the same way.”

                I wasn’t born yesterday.
