                    [Summary] => The past few days, there has been an abundance of discussion about the poverty situation in the country.


Two events conspired to bring this about: the Ultra tragedy where poverty is used as scapegoat for calamitous crowd behavior; and, the release of several surveys showing three-quarters of our people rating themselves poor.

I suspect those two events are related in a way: much of the discussion about poverty happens in the television network hit by the calamity and might, understandably, be interested in dispersing the blame for the event.
