You know what? here in the late 1930’s early 1940’s boys were often sent away from home to live and work on a farm at the age of 12! And they often slept with the animals even through winter. These were not bad conditions for the time, it was normal!
But since then the wealth and living standards have increased tremendously.
There is no way it should be necessary for anyone in USA to skip meals today. But USA is such an unfair society, that some people have a million times more than others. There is no way that is socially justifiable. Nobody should be either that privileged or unprivileged.
True, but I wrote “have” because I didn’t want to count things like debt. People with debt still have things, and sometimes people living like billionaires also have debt so their net worth is close to zero.
The meaning was what they “have” to spend on themselves, disregarding whether it’s their own or not.
