They said poor people got screwed and poverty is down in the same sentence. There's no way this argument is in good faith.

This sounds like “rich people are ok” where their “Wall Street” is doing better but skip the rest. They talked about trade and foreign investment, not generally concerns of the common or poor person.

Yeah I mean they accused the meme of being biased while ignoring the fact that people are being forced to eat donkey meat. Definitely not someone who cares about others.

This is a serious economic strategy labeling people as "useless eater", you know who called it that? Nazi Germany. They called it "Unnütze Esser"

(lit. "useless eaters" or "useless mouths") Similar to life unworthy of life, a designation for people who dont or refuse to work, people with serious medical problems or disabilities, and other Untermenschen not deemed to be useful to Germany. It was used in the 1938 children's book Der Giftpilz by Julius Streicher, and in Philip K. Dick's book The Man in the High Castle and its television adaptation.

Well if all the poor old and disabled people died, then yes logically poverty would be down

Poor people can be mass murdered and poverty will go down, you do realize?
