For your last point, there is a lot of people in the United States who don’t have that. The point should be that despite the immense wealth, how many people are doing okay and etc that there are those who have been truly left behind and grinded down to bits.
I’m sure you and the other person understand that, more so just saying that should be the point they hammer down when talking to people. My partner’s family is from a third world country and they literally had trouble understanding why someone like me would struggle so hard growing up in a place that literally had almost no utilities in a country that was so immensely rich. It may not just compute for them.
