- ”Climate change is the biggest long-term threat to reducing poverty. It is the world's poorest who will suffer the most as hurricanes and floods become more devastating, as higher temperatures lead to more disease, as crops fail and water becomes scarcer because of unreliable rainfall. More than 200 million of the world's poorest could be left homeless by 2050 because of rising sea levels, floods and drought." UK Minister for Trade and Development, Gareth Thomas
- Poverty is the state of being without, often associated with need, hardship and lack of resources across a wide range of circumstances. For some, poverty is a subjective and comparative term; for others, it is moral and evaluative.
- Child death rates in the UK are higher than in many other European nations because of poverty in the UK.
- Poverty is a place where "the poor" live, both physically and in the very depths of their black, black souls.
- A nation's Poverty rate indicates the number of citizens who are unable to afford the necessities to live adequate lives. A high poverty rate leads to more poor citizens, increased rates of Crime, and widespread Racial Tension. The severity of poverty is also a factor in a president's relations with the poor; any poverty rate below 55% will improve relations with the poor while poverty rates of 55% or more will quickly drop relations. Since poverty increases the number of poor people to begin with, a high rate of poverty can quickly fill a nation with angry, impoverished voters.
- The U.N. has 5 permanent members. They are The United States, Russia, China, France, and England. One of these countries can veto any U.N. action. In 2007 China vetoed the U.N. resolution to stop the genocide in Darfur. China buys oil from the perpetrator Sudan.
- There are many different definitions of poverty. You have surely heard about the $1 a day poverty measure, the Human Development Index (HDI), human rights, basic needs, capabilities, absolute poverty, relative poverty, chronic poverty, relative deprivation, etc. What do they measure? And, more importantly, how are these related to each other?
- Poverty was the state of being poor. Poverty was prevalent during the Great Depression, causing people to turn to places like the Twenty-First Street Mission for shelter. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever" ) According to Natasha Yar, poverty and violence drove many of the people on her home planet to substance abuse. (TNG: "Symbiosis" ) Deanna Troi told Mark Twain that poverty was eliminated on Earth a long time ago, taking with it hopelessness, despair, and cruelty, to which Twain replied that maybe such a world was worth giving up cigars for after all. (TNG: "Time's Arrow, Part II" )

(TNG: "Time's Arrow, Part II" ) Later, when trying to convince Zefram Cochrane to make his famous first warp speed flight in 2063, Troi told him that poverty would be gone within the next fifty years. (Star Trek: First Contact) By 2370 this was true for Earth, unlike the planets in the Demilitarized zone. Benjamin Sisko stated this fact to Kira Nerys when attempting to explain why the Maquis were rebelling. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part II") Poverty also didn't exist for the Briori. (VOY: "The 37's") When welcoming Neelix (disguised as the Grand Proxy) Arridor ironically referred to Ferenginar as a "poverty-stricken little world". (VOY: "False Profits")

A permit to build a house on former farm land takes 11 years to aquier. 92% of city dwellers and 83% of people in the countryside live on dead capital in Egypt. The dead capital in the world is worth more than 40 times all foreign aid sense 1945. To legally register a one man cake shop in Cairo takes 500 days to complete all government paperwork.
