Bloomberg also took issue with criticism that the city's poor have suffered during his three terms in office, which comes to an end in 2014.
"I'm not being cavalier about it, but most places in the world our poor are wealthy. There's a lot of tragedy around the world," Bloomberg said.
Previous measures of poverty looked at income and not services available to individuals - like air conditioning, which Bloomberg said was available to most Americans.
"When we grew up we didn't have air-conditioning. Air-conditioning in the schools, the subways. Are you crazy? Now, by most of the world's standards, you ain't poor," he said.
Puts his whole 12 years in perspective.
Yes, poverty is a matter of degree.
But compared to the obscene wealth Bloomberg and his fellow plutocrats have stolen, poor people in this city are indeed poor.
That's why the Tale Of Two Cities narrative resonates.
Poor people may have a/c's, but they have global warming today as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bloomberg, with his nine houses, his two helicopters, his three private plans, and his idling SUV's waiting to take him to the subway because he's too lazy to walk contributes mightily to global warming as well.

He might generalized the idea, but poor people are poor, clear and simple. Having an AC does not turn poor people into a rich man, they might have the device but there is no food in the fridge nor access to basic social services.

While I don't agree with this sentiment, it does make a good point about distinguishing wealth from poverty. In this area, if you can afford an air conditioning installation, you're probably fine. Sometimes it depends on the family's spending priorities, though. Thiago | http://www.sullivanservice.com/heating-air-conditioning/new-ac-system

ReplyDeleteAir conditioning is a need. Sometimes the heat can be too much. It is then that getting air conditioning becomes a priority. Regardless, of the recent purchase, they might still be poor.
