Pocerty is crazy. When i grew up, i didn't really know any poor people. The closest i got was a family that moved here from Sarajevo, because they had a war going. They weren't poor, because we have a good safety net for things like that (for the most part.) when i got older, there was the occasional beggar in the city. When i was 20 ish, i went to canada for two weeks, and ithey had not only more beggars, they had different beggars. Like i have never seen someone going through a garbage bin to find food. I talked to a guy in a suit who was eating a donut that i threw away. He lost his job like 3 weeks ago and was on the street pretty much from one week to another. I'm not shitting on canada at all, it was just the first time that i left europe.
