The "Middle-Class Kill Line" in America: Who’s Gloating?

就当那就是事实，这不过就是一群人在嘲笑比自己更惨的人，寻求心理安慰罢了

I have never been to the United States, I love watching American TV shows. Old Bai from Deadly Poison Master lives in a small city in Texas, is a public school teacher, and is definitely middle-class. Normally, life is stable, but once you get cancer, your whole life immediately collapses. I read the comments on IMDb and no one thinks this setting is unreasonable.

在美华人先天对这个话题就没有发言权，未经他人苦。您最多是在超市门口瞥见个体面流浪者而已，用的话术也都是最近知乎总结过的。无非是为了捍卫自己的选择而已。当你开始气急败坏地的反驳，就已经能说明很多事情了。

The 'kill line' is a vague concept, and what really kills people is the mortgage, car, and student loans in the United States. Moreover, the United States does not have a policy to provide a safety net for impoverished people. These are the sorrows of ordinary Americans

There is also a so-called 'credit system', where even a slight flaw can lead to a drastic decline in one's life, and it can be considered a part of the beautiful scenery!

The author repeatedly debated whether the kill line was $140000, but could not deny the existence of such a line, although we also believe it is not $140000. The two fatal factors in the "kill line" in the United States are the property tax, which causes homelessness and severely weakens people's ability to survive. The second is the expensive medical expenses, even with various remedies, it cannot provide health protection for long-term unemployed people. Food and drink are secondary, and in developed countries, providing food is not a big burden. Killing mainly comes from losing a place to live, losing medical care, and losing opportunities for recovery. There is no need to exaggerate the killing line, nor should we gloat. Instead, we should empathize with the evils of the capitalist system and help ordinary Americans find a path to a stable life. The path to common development with the American people is the right path. The struggle with the US government and US trade is inevitably greater than cooperation, because this is the choice of the US government.

An annual salary of 140000 US dollars is equivalent to an annual salary of 300000 to 500000 US dollars in China, which is more common in big cities and not very common

这篇文章质疑了贫困标准的设定，假设标准设定的不合理，但是从制度角度考虑呢，流浪汉还有多大翻身的可能，美国的医疗、信贷体系的保障程度有多高，普通人治疗疾病的及时性怎样，为什么药物滥用那么多，要是能及时治病，药物滥用会这么严重吗

There are a lot of issues in the United States, such as gun violence, marijuana legalization, racial discrimination, and so on. It's still a federal system where each state is autonomous. Why hasn't anyone opposed that? Why can't we split that? Why can't other countries play with the 66 who engage in assassination and regime subversion? Do you still think the United States is weak?
