Sure.
Edit: The reason why they keep poverty line this low is to how "successful" neoliberal policies are. The bar for "not poor" should be higher.
It should be but there are a lot of freebies given to poor people in developing countries which manages to keep them not as poor as they would be if left to their income alone
So what you're saying is their income is not sufficient to live on, and the poverty line should be raised, because even with subsidies they're still considered poor
They are not “poor” with subsidies. Subsidies help them stay above the poverty line.
They are, you're wrong
