tldr Poverty line is calculated as 3x a year’s food budget b/c the calculation dates to the 60s when food was 1/3 of spending. Food is now 1/16 of spending due to other costs rising hugely, so the official US poverty line for a family of 4 is $35,000 but updating the logic it should be $140,000!
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

Just to put up a post here, my last scenario took place after the events of the The Emperor's Wrath scenario (available on Drive Thru). The damaged Emperor's Wrath steam tank was returned to the Imperial College of Engineering, only to face a massive Skaven plague and invasion.
