Sounds like a nice way to dismiss all Western poverty ever. Have running water and electricity? Clearly not poor...

Just pick anything that 90%+ of the population have: internet, electricity, gas, water, a car, heating, a telephone line, etc and then declare it your "line" for poverty.

That's not the point under discussion.

What exactly is the "point under discussion" then? Because it sounds pretty close to that if that isn't it.
