Poverty Is the Problem. Success Is Not. Much of modern political discourse is built on the assumption that inequality is the problem. I believe this is a profound mistake. The true enemy is not inequality—it is poverty. There is a reason the commandment “Thou shalt not covet” #Poverty #Inequality #Success #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

Le gouvernement burkinabé a interdit la pratique du « poverty porn », qui consiste à filmer la misère des personnes vulnérables pour susciter de l'émotion et des dons, à travers un décret visant à encadrer les interventions humanitaires dans le pays. #BurkinaFaso #PovertyPorn #AideHumanitaire

America’s ruling class has performed another miracle. They took the most basic truths in human civilization ... crime needs punishment, borders need enforcement, schools should teach, welfare should be temporary, families matter, merit matters, and taxpayers should not be looted by professional parasites ... and somehow rebranded all of that as “extremism.” Incredible work, really. Apparently, a “compassionate” society is one where the violent repeat offender gets another chance, the victim gets a candlelight vigil, the taxpayer gets the bill, the schoolkid gets passed along illiterate, the fraudster gets a grant, the NGO gets another contract, the illegal alien gets services, and the working American gets told to shut up and be more inclusive. What a beautiful system. Soft justice did not stay in the courtroom. It metastasized. It became soft borders, soft schools, soft parenting, soft welfare, soft standards, soft men, and soft bureaucrats explaining why every obvious solution is “too harsh.” Lock up predators? Cruel. Deport illegals? Hateful. End generational welfare? Lacking empathy. Punish fraud? Complicated. Restore merit? Problematic. Teach kids to read? Probably colonialism by Tuesday. A serious country protects the innocent from the guilty. A decaying country protects the guilty from consequences and makes the innocent finance the experiment. That’s America’s real crisis. Not poverty. Not “root causes.” Not another fake expert panel. Consequences. We stopped imposing them on the people destroying the country, so now the country imposes them on everyone else. https://x.com/FloppingAces/status/2071298317452234938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2071298317452234938%7Ctwgr%5E437b8e842447602b831fedbcf5c5855b30e505ba%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Finstapundit.com%2F806889%2F

Growth is the only thing that has ever succeeded in slashing poverty. Fighting poverty with a program of "degrowth" is like screwing for virginity. Amazing graphs. https://t.co/XlbSHDXJIE #PovertyReduction #EconomicGrowth #DegrowthDebate #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

The poorest economies in the world are not achieving economic growth. The consequence is that progress against the very worst poverty is coming to a halt. This is one of the worst problems in the world today, but hardly gets any attention. https://t.co/yXVgf3otHu #Poverty #EconomicGrowth #GlobalIssues #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

We live in an age of manufactured scarcity. In a world richer than ever before, roughly one 10th of the world’s population still lives in extreme destitution. Millions of people cannot afford enough food, proper housing or basic healthcare, while a tiny minority accumulates #ManufacturedScarcity #Poverty #Inequality #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromthetweetprovided.

Fortunes on this scale are built through exploitation. The extreme inequality that defines our world is driving down living standards, deepening poverty, intensifying neglect in working-class communities, and concentrating immense power in the hands of a tiny elite. https://t.co/3xuJMHLsem #Inequality #Exploitation #WorkingClass #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

19.5 million children in the EU are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. For many of them, a daily meal at school means health, support and a better chance of finalising their education. The EU School Programme must be adequately funded in the 2028-2034 CMO Regulation. #EPP #ChildPoverty #EUSchoolProgram #EducationForAll #EU

Today, @daracalleary and I launched the Government's Roadmap for Social Inclusion. Our ambition is clear: to tackle poverty and make Ireland one of the most socially inclusive countries in the world. Social protection is not a cost; it is an investment in our collective future. https://t.co/0pwlg9br69 #SocialInclusion #PovertyReduction #InvestmentInFuture #IE

In Afghanistan's Ghor province, fathers are facing devastating choices as extreme poverty and unemployment force them to consider selling their daughters for marriage or domestic work to ensure the survival of their families amid a dire humanitarian crisis. #ChildPoverty #AfghanistanCrisis #DesperateChoices
