The idea of saying any other measure of poverty than 1 dollar a day isn't poverty is frankly laughable.
Good thing I didn't say anything resembilng that, btw. I included three measures of poverty. I just pointed out that a measurement that measure income distribution doe not measure poverty, just because you call it "poverty". I can measure the average temperature of a country and call that a "poverty scale" if I like. It doesn't make it true.
"Poverty" measures as percentage of a countries mean income is not a measure of poverty at all. Calling it that, which many people do, is simply a lie.

Yes and you managed to exclude the one measure of poverty out of 4 on the page that agrees with me. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
