RE: What would a world without poverty look like?
As person that has come out of poverty, it’s not a choice to be subjugated to corporate oppression it’s a need for for survival.

Well, no if I am wrong as you suggest then please explain to me how and why I am wrong instead of just telling me I don't understand. Your post and comments seemed to posit the idea that poverty is needed or nobody would ever be motivated to do anything. I simply expressed the idea that this is not the case. I am not saying that poverty does not motivate people, what I am saying is that it is not only motivator we have at our disposal and we should not praise poverty as some kind of redeemer because it routinely fails to work out for literally billions of people decade after decade.
I am not praising I’m simply accepting the fact that it counts as a motivator, in your point of view it might not be but in my point of view it is motivation and yes it shouldn’t be the only motivator because it isn’t.
When you are poor and you make ends meet you have to start searching for ways to make money to make ends meet, people born into poverty don’t have a choice which makes them more motivated than a person not born into poverty.
Fair enough, I agree poverty can be a motivator. All I was saying was that it is not ‘needed’ as a motivator and if and when the day comes we can eradicate poverty then there will still be positive motivators to ensure that things still get done.
