The Math That Doesn't Work

This is not a game. There are no points. There is no winning.

You are a single parent in Omaha, Nebraska. You work full-time. After taxes, rent, and utilities, you have $47.23 to last until Friday. Today is Monday. You have three children.

For five minutes, you will live inside the arithmetic of poverty. Every choice is rational. Every choice is impossible. The math doesn't work. It never works.

63,000 families in Nebraska do this math every week. 14 million children in the United States live inside arithmetic that doesn't add up. The gap between food insecurity and food security is $22.37 per person per week.

After five minutes inside it, you'll understand why in a way no statistic can show you.
