I don't think I am actually.

I think it's almost impossible to miss every single one of these all the time. I have worked with the extremely poor, and watched documentaries of people in third world countries regularly. Most people even those who are literal third world slaves (indebted for life) can still regularly enjoy at least 2 of these things regularly.

I'm not saying it's not shit and that ideally everyone should experience all of them, but it's unrealistically cynical and nihilistic to think everyone poor is just miserable and doesn't enjoy anything.
