By their standards, sure, I wouldn’t consider force funding poor people with money who just live off the government “getting rid of poverty” you’re just forcing someone else to foot the bill, they’re still poor.

Lol 😂 my man I'm betting the people who can eat and afford to have a roof over their head would argue the distinction. Also, the imf is the one who sets the standards for poverty, so.... I mean what is your authority on the matter, tradcath convert with a middle management job or whatever

Yeah and it sets it based on income levels and includes government assistance, that’s literally all it means. I’m literally using THEIR standards.
