    Like, I'm not trying to be snarky, there's a lot of conversions going on there that aren't explicated. My takeaway is that if you can buy food and little else, that's poverty, righ…

    Yeah I figured, but I didn't know if there was an actual parity error because I was working (impossibly) towards the wrong solution, or if there was a hard part that I might still …
