Is it just me who thinks US poverty is taken out of proportion?

[From the Heritage Foundation:](http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2011/07/what-is-poverty)
>Census Poverty Reports Are Misleading and Inaccurate. Nonetheless, each year, the U.S. Census Bureau issues a report claiming that over 35 million Americans live in poverty. The annual Census poverty report is flawed in two respects.
>First, the report provides no information on the actual living conditions of the persons identified as poor. It simply states that a specified number of persons are poor without giving any information on what poverty means in the real world.
>Second, the Census report massively undercounts the economic resources provided to poor people. The Census asserts that a household is poor if its “money income” falls below a specified threshold. In 2009, the poverty income threshold for a family of four was $21,756. However, in counting the money income of households, the Census ignores virtually the entire welfare state.For example, there are over 70 means-tested welfare programs that provide cash, food, housing, medical care, and social services to poor and low-income persons. Major means-tested welfare programs include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; Supplemental Security Income; the Earned Income Tax Credit; food stamps; the Women, Infants, and Children food program; public housing; and Medicaid. | AskReddit | jewish |

12gz6r | heckyesgainesville | 1,351,796,260,000 | My local homeless coalition put out a request for donations of blankets and coats recently, and I have so many blankets (and a heater...) at home, it tears me up to see a homeless dude trying to stay warm under some boxes. Problem is, I love all my blankets and I don't really want to part with them. I can't afford to go buying new blankets to give away, but I could definitely buy a bundle from Salvation Army. But what if poor people who need to shop at Salvation Army can't buy any blankets because I gave them all to the homeless? Is this a legitimate concern? Is there a better option?
Edit: thanks all for the ideas. Hopefully I can spread lots of warmth around soon. Also, as I saw on a website for a local lady that delivers food and supplies to the many homeless staying in tents outside of town, I purchased a few dozen mylar blankets for pretty cheap on Amazon. I'm going to give them to her to hand out on her delivery. | AskReddit | jewish |

I completely understand that the infrastructure is simply devastated for now and that this takes time to restore, but...
...where these gas lines are "spewing" uncontrolled - is there not simply a "main" or a limited number of "mains" somewhere closer to the gas company themselves where they could simply shut off the city's service until they can afford the man-power to respond?

12g181 | BubblegumSaxophone40 | 1,351,748,260,000 | Ok, so here is the full story.
I am a senior in high school, and I have a brother about 3 years older than I am. His senior year of high school, he was in the local running start program (High school/college credit at once, classes taken at community college) after being in the high school's advanced magnet program. So his senior year he got a job and became heavily involved with his girlfriend, and we barely saw him. He started hanging out with people my parents deemed shady or unsavory. By his last semester, he had done drugs several times, and several times previously, he was completely closed of from his friends, and spent most of his time working or with his girlfriend. Them we discovered that he had been cutting class to do drugs or whatever and he was failing two of his classes. But because he had previously been a stellar student, he was still on track to graduate. We found all this out a few days before he was set to graduate, when my parents found drug paraphanelia in his room, and confronted him he told them he didn't want to walk and had decided to work in a pawn shop instead of go to the college he had already been accepted to. My parents were devastated.
So before all of this, they had been really chill. Like, I could go hang out with a certain friend, and they wouldn't ask where and just tell me to be home by a certain time. But recently, since I started my senior year, they've become increasingly strict. For example I'll tell them I'm going to hang with friend x, who they've met and met the parents, and then I'll get home at a reasonable time and they'll freak out because I didn't tell them exactly where I was going to be and give them a number of someone I was going to be with, along with the exact time I was going to be home. They've never done this before.
I think that they think that if they aren't hyper vigilant I will follow my brother's chosen path.
But I'm not even anything like him. He completely secluded himself, and I'm not. I'm in band and jazz band, I have good grades, I'm taking 3 ap classes, I do volunteering, I'm going to be learning the oboe for band, and the most illegal activity I've partaken in was jaywalking. I've never had any of the drug or drinking problems that my brother had, and my parents know that my friends are all good kids as well.
I don't understand their behavior. So how do I approach them without evoking anger? Or do I just resign myself to helicopter parents until I go to college? | AskReddit | jewish |

- There's incredible food, and much of it is cheap. And there's almost everything you can think of.
- The culture is amazing. You can go to a reading and hear a Nobel Laureate, pop into any of the museums, pick a landmark and make a trip of it, or just go hang out in a totally different kind of neighborhood.

12kl4d | mr_glasses | 1,351,964,285,000 | Hi Internet. I'm in the affected zone of Sandy. No power (I'm at Starbucks; praise mermaid lady and her wifi!). No heat. I have a gas stove and an oil-fired boiler for hot water, so that makes life bearable, so long as the weather keeps above freezing. (This makes me one of the lucky ones!) We won't have power restored for another week.
Anyway. I've had a lot of time to think. I've been going over and over in my head, like a crazy person in a cabin in the woods, about all the stupid ways we have endangered ourselves by adopting certain technologies with the assumption that the power grid will always be online. I've also thought of a lot of the older, off-the-grid technologies that are being phased out.
So what are some old technologies that could help us survive?
* gas stations where you can pump gas old-school style, using muscle power—anyone know if this is feasible as a back-up alongside electric pumps?
* telephone land lines connected to phone company power supply
* street corner fire alarm boxes

- One 6 inch candle (particularly if backed up by one of those little shower mirrors) is enough to read and see by for 8 hours.
- Baby wipes are key to avoid stank, foot rot and (God forbid) a bladder infection.
- There is nothing that can't be cooked on a propane grill.
- A 0 degree sleeping bag will save your life.
- We didn't see anything about a Kardashian, moviestar or presidential candidate and got by just fine.
- Once a kid can read, you only need enough books around - the Wii, DS, TV, ipad, is not required.
- No power means no water unless you are on municipal/gravity fed water.

12jwhj | sasnfbi1234 | 1,351,917,800,000 | The episode is centered around the borg hugh. Piccard has the chance to destroy all of the borg by sending hue back with a virus downloaded into his memory, but in the end he allows hugh to make his own decision. He lets it return to the collective safely.
He is later reprimanded by his superiors for not destroying a huge enemy of the Federation.
So does the thing that is right different then the moral things sometimes different

12mea1 | Wintopi | 1,352,054,073,000 | I'll start. Last fall I got a bag of oranges and apparently dropped one when I was putting them away. I found it behind the fridge in the spring and thought it was one of the dog's tennis balls -- it was that fuzzy and green! My other real score was that I dropped a dozen eggs and only broke most of them. One got away into the wild that I did not notice. I found it two years later when I moved the stove out for repair. It looked as if it had just been broken. I could have used it for a food ad. The yolk was high and bright yellow and the white a lovely free-form circle around it. It was also as hard as plastic. I'm still sorry I didn't try to pry it up in one piece and save it. | AskReddit | jewish |

They don't understand electricity, certainly don't understand the concept of the Internet or cell phones (or even regular phones) and have no relatable understanding of what the word digital could mean.

12lksq | Nachie | 1,352,003,126,000 | For the sake of context, the "welcome to the game!" thing began one day when I showed up to this guy's house while he and another dude were playing Left 4 Dead. At the same time as I was walking in, he got a phone call and threw me the controller so he could take it. I was a little shocked at being thrust into the midst of the action, and he reacted to my confusion with a booming "welcome to the game!"

12ld0m | Brushstroke | 1,351,994,069,000 | It's not really *too* surprising considering how laid back our workplace is and we joke around and use that kind of language all the time when customers aren't around, but considering how other businesses (especially retail) can be I know it is definitely not the norm.
At the small electronics store I work at, a woman came in looking for a power adapter for this water fountain. It looked like a fountain that you would put on your lawn as a decoration. It required a 12V AC power adapter but all the ones we have are AC-to-DC which wouldn't work in this case. She asked to look at them anyway and tried a couple, and then became extremely frustrated with me and called me a dumbass when she realized they weren't working. She was also looking for a 10W bulb that went in the fountain. We keep these little light bulbs of various sizes and types in these drawers. As I was looking for the bulb in the drawers, she speaks to my manager and says, "I asked your coworker to find a bulb for me and he's just standing over there doing nothing" to which my manager rightly replied that I'm looking for it. The two 10W bulbs in there that I could see weren't the right type for the fountain. The woman then expressed her frustration more by saying we clearly didn't know what we were doing and left. After a couple other customers left, my manager turned to me and said, "That woman was a raging bitch." and I replied, "Yeah, I know right? I was thinking the same thing." and we just had a laugh about the incredulous look on her face when my manager said to her, "Well...we don't really deal much in fountains so we just don't see this problem often."

12latw | whentimerunsout | 1,351,991,551,000 | Let me begin by saying that she had substance abuse problems and we split up mutually. She actually got back with an ex boyfriend from years ago. My parents actually can't stand her and don't trust her. I think I can give her a chance and redeem herself. I still ask my parents for financial help and don't want to be cut off. Also, we have a child and share custody. If we do get together I will give her a trial run to see if it works out. I eventually want to tell my parents and see what they think, but I'm petrified.
Should I let my parents know when she moves back in and just deny the feelings they have? I know they will resent me for ever giving her a chance.
I reposted this with a new question because apparently it was against some posting rules. I appreciate any responses. I hope no one will send insulting comments intended to belittle me. Thanks
I gave her a chance and she stayed with me for a few days. After that she moved back with her boyfriend. She still has feelings for me, but needed to really see how her boyfriend would react when she actually left. So basically she used me to drive him crazy and beg for her to come back. I think this will be the last time I let her come back to me, she burned a bridge basically. | AskReddit | jewish |

12p0vz | gmap516 | 1,352,157,171,000 | Hey guys, I'm currently attending a community college in Minnesota and I'm approaching my last semester there before graduating with a two year liberal education degree. I'd like to apply to either The University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, Boston University, Northeastern University, Minnesota State Mankato, somewhere in Chicago, or anywhere else in Boston. However... Here's my academic background:
My high school GPA was just under a 3.0, probably around a 2.7 if I recall correctly. However, I did manage to score a 31 on my ACT.
I also enrolled in a program here in Minnesota in which I was able to take classes at a college and receive both high school and college credits for, so my last years of high school and first year of college credits are one and the same.
Meanwhile, my college GPA is currently a 2.5. My first two semesters I got 6 Cs, a D, and an A.
The next two semesters I decided to go to Framingham State University in Massachusetts and this is where I entirely fucked up. I failed every course. I had started anti-depressants which I believe had entirely messed with my head. I came back home, stopped the meds, and decided I'd do better.
The next semester I got 2 A's, withdrew from one class, and got an Incomplete in the last (Though never completed it the next semester, resulting in an F). The semester after that I got 2 A's and a C.
Finally, this semester (Fall 2012) I enrolled to retake the class which I didn't complete before, but withdrew from it again due to a poor choice in scheduling which lead me to be late for almost every session and I wanted to ensure I got an A in it and retake it again rather than have points docked for attendance. I took a required Exercise Science class and aced that, and I'm retaking the class I got a D in during my first semester to likely get an A (B at the lowest) and another class that I expect a B in.
That all being said, I want to know what my options are for applying to transfer out. Will my improvement in recent semesters be enough to counter my GPA? Should I apply now or during next semester? How do I handle my straight year of flunking classes? Do I need to report the grades from that school? And lastly, do you have any suggestions for schools that I might want to look into? I'd really prefer to stay in an urban area. Minneapolis, Chicago, or Boston are really the only places I'd consider living unless someone suggests another school somewhere. I also prefer the north east coast (New England) as I grew up in Boston. | AskReddit | jewish |

12ocaw | Manlet | 1,352,136,403,000 | She sumbitted all the forms for an absentee ballot about a month ago, as directed. About two weeks ago, she noticed it was late and around that time begin calling her county's registrar to see what was going on. She only got the voicemail until today. When she finally got someone on the phone today, they told her that she was not coming up as a returned ballot, that her address was correct, and the only thing to do was call the post office and see if it was being held. the registrar said there was no tracking on the ballot.
My girlfriend then got three phone numbers from the post office regarding tracking down deliveries for her zip. One was out of service, and the other two were busy. After about an hour, she finally got hold of someone at the post office, who said that they have no info on it and the courier said that it would have been put in the mailbox.
She cannot drive down to her state tomorrow because she has a meeting for work in the morning. Is there anything she can do? | AskReddit | jewish |
