Bhai just came back from Bharat..all that brains and they can fix their poverty issue, sanitation is cruel, people are cruel. Best part was experiencing Holi at the Ghanges..what a site.

Glad my greats had the foresight to leave.

Over 44 million Americans face hunger each and every day including 1 in 5 children, black families have the lowest median income ($12,500) while Hispanic families have the highest ($18,700)

Whether it's gender discrimination, racism, or other forms of social injustice, poverty follows. Those with the most severe poverty are found in poor areas of the Southeast, including the Mississippi Delta and Appalachia, as well as on Native American lands.

Can your America fix its poverty issue?

India's level is down to below 30%, they present government wants to get it down to lower than 10 % in a decade.

Poverty in America is much different in America as compared to other countries.

When Americans migrate to other countries due to poverty well talk then.

Poverty in each country is tied to the standard of living in that country.
What's called hunger in one country is considered 'bellyful inna anodder'

There's just one factor that those who use per capita income of a country to determine wealth miss.
Rural residents in most developing and underdeveloped countries can go by the backyard
pick breadfruit, pull-up dasheen (taro) and 'ketch' a fowl. Dem doan measure that.

Something like this was done in Niger about two decades ago. The chief of a village who was a trained agriculturist realized that slash and burn agricultural methods of agriculture had caused the soil to become barren and this exacerbated the problem of the Sahelian drought, which had been going on de the better part of 40 years. Anyways, long story short, they essentially made a forest of neem trees. Neem trees fertilize the soil by adding nitrogen to it and they were able to increase the yield of their crops fourfold .It was actually the subject of a Nat Geo article in either 2003 or 2004

When people decide to live with nature instead of exploiting it, you doh really have problems

Overview of American migratory demography (2005-2019)

American emigration to Europe totaled 3,6 million people in 2005, and 5 million in 2019,
whereas Americans emigrating to other countries counted 29,3 million people in 2005 and 40 million people in 2019.

Almost 10 % left the amazing Good ole US of A owing to numerous reasons.

The new American dream is to leave the U.S.
The minds of many Americans want to go because of violence, the high price of real estate, the high cost of rent, the cost of vehicles, the high price of food,
Poverty, racism and many of the products we depend on to live.

The US Government doesn't keep up with such statistics it relies on foreign government information, then compiles such.

Those numbers looked off..how many of those were foreign ers returning to the country of birth or deported.

This is what I found

How many Americans move out of America?
While it's not quite a mass exodus, the number of Americans who live outside the US is not insignificant. About 9 million US citizens may live overseas, according to a 2020 State Department estimate. And about 15% of Americans polled by Gallup in 2022 said they wanted to leave the US permanently.Sep 8, 2023

The number of expats has more than doubled in the last fifteen years — a number growing faster than the rate of the U.S. population itself. The U.S. government does not keep a close count of Americans who have left the country.The State Department asks some expatriates to register, but it does not maintain comprehensive, up-to-date directories. So, to count emigrants, we need a little help from our friends. Or at least from their statistical agencies. Americans emigrating to other countries counted 29,3 million people in 2005 and 40 million people in 2019.
The above numbers are estimates given by other countries statistics.
