Grok’s got this. No worries. It doesn’t really matter if it’s right, does it?

What if you created a means-tested safety net that requires your household to be under some percentage of a federal poverty line that does not exist?

socio-steve.bsky.social•2 days ago

I suppose they could just leave the existing line frozen in time forever. Con: the safety net gets smaller and smaller until totally useless. Pro: congratulations the official poverty rate falls away to 0.

It's ok. Chances are the safety net program you just qualified for doesn't exist either.
