Have you checked any data before you posting stuff?
Houston's cost of living is 9% under national level. Hardly significant.
Say 2-2 apartment rental is $1300, that would leave 530 monthly disposable
income.
Make living with that on food, utilities, child education related expenses.
I don't think you can own a car with that kind of money.

According to a government survey, 35 per cent of Japanese males aged 16-19
are averse to sex, more than double the 17.5 per cent of men in the previous
study in 2008.
Males lose interest in women they feel belong to many other men; and these

2009年儿童贫困报告(2009 Child Poverty Report Card)显示,生活於贫困中的卑诗儿童,连续第6年占全国最高比例。各界均把矛头指向政府无能,没有立定明確改善计画,导致情况持续恶化。
周二,是加拿大众议院通过2000年计画,致力於2000年前结束儿童贫困的20周年,卑诗省却连续第六年成為全国儿童贫困最严重的省份。根据2000年计画卑诗负责单位First Call提供的数据显示,卑诗2007年有18.8%的儿童陷於贫困,比例高於全国平均数字;而当时全国金融繁盛,並无不景气,现有状况更令人担忧。
First Call主席诺顿(Julie Norton)对省府面对儿童贫困问题而袖手旁观表示质疑。包含纽芬兰/拉布拉多、新布朗士维克、新斯科舍、魁北克、安大略、缅尼托巴等六省,均立定条例,致力改善儿童贫困问题。
在加拿大全国,约有9.5%的儿童处于贫困线下。这个数字比1989年11.9%的儿童贫困率要有所好转。 报告呼吁联邦政府向每位儿童提供最多5,400加元的税务优惠,制定时薪11加元的最低工资标准,并重点解决原住民社区的贫困问题。

To Bang,
First of all, my deep sorrow to Yan Yuanyuan's death. She shouldn't die at
such a young age.
In my opinion, Youn'g mother and brother are partly responsible for her
death. Poverty is not a passport for irresponsibility. I think the Young
family has the wrong value. Her mother, as a capable woman, can survive on
her own if she really wants to. Unfortunately, instead of living on her own,
she chose to live with her daughter who doesn't seem to be full capable of
taking care both of them.

据加通社消息,救世军(Salvation Army)的调查发现﹐加拿大每9个成年人当中﹐约有1人一度流离失所﹐或是濒临无家可归的困境。
沙斯卡寸旺省和缅尼托巴省的受访者的比率最高﹐5人中有1人尝过无家可归的滋味﹐或是差不多居无定所。
救世军的报告名為《贫穷不该是终身判刑》(Poverty Shouldn't be a Life Sentence)﹐问卷问道﹕你试过流离失所﹐或是濒临无家可归吗﹖但问卷没有详细说明﹐怎样才算濒临无家可归。
救世军说﹐在2009年经济衰退期间﹐一般社会服务的需求增加超过25%﹐它帮助100多万人﹐提供食物﹑衣服﹑其他援助。
救世军提到渥太华的数据﹐指该市2009年的庇护所位使用率上升逾9%﹐庇护所位的留宿时间比2008年长12%。
救世军的报告评估无家可归问题﹐参议院附属委员会去年12月的城市报告承认﹐流落街头这一社会问题难以估算。但报告说﹐许多人报称﹐庇护所和食物賙济库的需求大增﹐在职者对庇护所和食物賙济库的需求也有增加。

原题:'One in seven Americans living in poverty' but Buffet remains bullish that U.S. economy will recover
据英国《每日邮报》9月15日报道,奥巴马总统的经济计划进一步受挫。最新数据显示,七分之一美国人生活在贫困中,两成美国儿童生活在贫困线以下。这一数据使奥巴马及民主党在国会中期选举面临新的难题,可巴菲特依然吹嘘美国经济在复苏。
最新的人口普查数据显示,1959年以来,生活在贫困线之下的美国人口数量正急剧增加。在3.07亿美国人中,大约4500万人生活贫困,贫困率达到15%;五分之一的美国儿童生活在贫困线以下。
美国慈善团体“基督教救世军”的乔治·霍普说:“底特律是除佛罗里达、加州以及内华达州之外受创最重的地方,许多人已经丧失了止赎权,只能住在汽车或者街道上。”
贫困人口增加无疑进一步引发了共和党对奥巴马经济政策的批评,令其在中期选举中承受更大压力。经济学家警告称,美国正在“花光钱包,有爆发金融灾难的危险”。奥巴马政府自上台以来已经拨付了1万亿美元用于刺激经济,批评人士称这些资金管理混乱

前天(上周五),多伦多市政府、多伦多商会和多伦多公益金在多伦多市政厅举办了一场针对多伦多贫困问题的座谈会。会议指出,近年来多伦多市民的贫富差距正不断扩大、中产阶级人口大幅缩减。各社区机构的代表强调各部门互相合作,并呼吁政府方面采取行动,同时通过提高广大公众的警觉意识,一同来面对、对抗贫困问题。
背景:加拿大国民贫富差距扩大
据悉,多伦多前市长、参议员艾格顿(Art Eggleton)曾在2009年12月与参议员西格尔(Hugh Segal)联手撰写了一份名为《In From the Margins: A Call to Action on Poverty, Housing and Homelessness》的报告,针对在加国各地普遍存在的贫困、廉租屋和无家可归这3项重要议题,向加拿大的3级政府提出了总共74项改善建议,其中包括敦促联邦政府制订全国性的反贫穷战略方案等。
前天的这场会议,便是针对艾格顿的这份报告,重点讨论本市的贫穷、廉租屋短缺和无家可归等问题。近200名来自商界、社区机构和政府部门的人士出席了这场座谈会,其中包括上述报告的作者、参议员艾格顿(Art Eggleton);本... 阅读全帖

虽然美国是世界超级大国,但却有事实证明澳大利亚在很多方面都比美国强。那么这两个国家比较起来孰优孰劣?澳大利亚新闻在线报道(News.com.au)整理了一些事实和数据,比较了两国之间的生活质量,向您展示如果您生活在美国,情况会有何不同。
薪酬 & 贫困
如果您居住在美国,从事专业职务会得到更高的报酬,而从事最低工资的工作,那么薪酬将会更低。
您也会觉得在美国找工作更难,美国的失业率几乎是澳大利亚的两倍,而且男女薪酬差距也更加大。澳洲女性的平均工资是男性的83.1%,而美国女性的平均工资只有男性的77%。
另一方面,您在美国也许能赚更多的钱。根据经济合作与发展组织(OECD)的数据,在2008年,美国家庭的收入中位数为37,690美元,而按照购买力平价理论换算后,澳洲家庭的收入中位数只有27,039美元。(那时候澳元只相当于0.6美元,现在是1.05美元)
不过,您在美国也可能更加容易陷入贫困。联合国人类贫困指数(UN Human Poverty Index)显示,12.2%的澳洲人依靠不足中位收入一半的收入过活。而在美国公民中,同等阶层或者收入更低的人数比例达到17%。

据密西根大学社会研究中心最新出炉研究调查显示,走过金融危机,美国家庭财富不仅没有“重新分配”,反而使全美最富有家庭,与一般中产家庭的财富差距,从2003年的相差13倍,加速恶化到2013年的24倍。
这项由密大社会研究中心助理教授费佛尔(Fabian Pfeffer)提出的报告,在史丹坦贫困与不平等研究中心(Stanford Center for the Study of Poverty and Inequality)网站发表。
费佛尔指出,从2003年到2013年期间,美国经历金融风暴,所有家庭不管贫富,都因此遭到不同程度的重挫,虽然富有家庭在这段时期损失大量财富,但中低阶层家庭却损失更多。
★2003年仅13倍
这份报告指出,2003年时,美国最富有5%家庭的财富,是一般中产家庭的13倍,而到了2013年,5%的富有家庭财富,却比一般中产家庭足足高出24倍。

You dont get what i was talking about... When people in China become rich,
the underground guys can also live a way with some dignity. Not like this
case, traders use weird trick to survive. That is why they said 这就是中国.
If you mean something like moral, i would say poverty never contributes to
moral... We need to provide people - both morally good or bad - a better
life first. that's what we are working on

It really a shame.
宋玉兰老师 has devoted her whole life to 幼儿 education. Can they (询陵川县
教育局) treat her better? Her pay is well below poverty level.
I think the reporter should follow up on this. In the worst case, we (as a
outsider) can help.

n年没正经看书了。这两周草草看了一遍post-american world,作者Fareed Zakaria,
大意总结如下:
1,近500年来世界格局出现三次崛起:西方/欧洲的崛起,美国的崛起,和现在正在进
行的第三世界多个国家的整体崛起,如中,印,俄罗斯,巴西,墨西哥等
2,对于美国和西方,以及全世界来说,伊斯兰的恐怖威胁已经不足为患
3,中国 - the challenger
过去30年里,几乎年均增长9%,同时使4亿人脱离poverty,是世界上有史以来最大
的贫困人口数量下降;中国面临的问题与其成长相伴随,这30年的发展相当于西方200
年的发展,所以出现的问题也不少,包括环境,政府失去控制,能源等;
外交政策上,即使中国主观韬光养晦,客观的发展也会使中国不得不介入国际事务
中;
没有宗教信仰的儒家文化需要发展以适应国际化。
