    The trick is that they constantly just redefine what poverty is to make the math look good. What used to be “I’m having a bit of trouble living” quickly turned into “I’m genuinely starving to death because I can’t even buy a loaf of bread” EDIT: and as that other commenter pointed out, they do pretty much every mathematical fudge they can to hide the fact their economic model is literally murdering people for profit.
