Yo....
"Standards" is a term that is relative to the time.
Standards is a term that allows a comparison......like apples to apples.
You, nor he, has been able to back up his statement.
As for your continued insults to who I am and what I am....if it makes you feel "big"....go for it.
Yo....
He said standards change.
He was right. They do. you proved it.
Once, the "standard" was food and shelter.
Once, the "standard" was electricity and running water.
The "standards" change, and you agree but want so badly to disagree, fucking WEIRD.
You jumped in the middle and now talking out of your ass...
This is what he said:
"blieve it or not, as civilization advances, economic standards change. I am not surprised you can't understand that."
He is wrong. Economic standards DONT change.
Standard of living changes.....but ones economnic standards do not change due to advances in civilization.
Unless...of course...you do not understand what "economic standards" refers to.
So if standards never change, we need to go back as far in human history as we can and find out what poverty was at that point,
and use that standard today to determine who is or isn't in poverty in America.
