Two speakers react to a Wall Street Journal report that the modern poverty line is $130,000 for a family of four when accounting for actual price increases. Even people earning decent wages live paycheck to paycheck, unable to cover rent if they miss one week of work. They suggest returning to communal living arrangements where multiple families share land and housing to reduce costs.

I just saw a headline and I think it was in the Wall Street Journal that the new poverty line, if you take into consideration every, the price increase of everything, is $130,000. That is insane.
We need to be living like 10 to a house to make bills so we can save up and we need to be going, you know how they used to do back in the day, you buy like 2, 3 acres of land and all your family live on that land. Y'all build y'all houses. Just so y'all can make ends meet because it's ridiculous.
It is insane. And like people that make good money are struggling like paycheck to paycheck. If they're sick for a week and miss a paycheck, they're missing rent. It's unbelievable. And it's really not being reported on. So thank goodness by traditional media, what do you call it? Legacy media?
Legacy. Legacy in the past.
