"So, for example, let's say you spend $10,000 a year on food. And food happens to be 10% of your yearly budget. So 10% compared to everything else you spend money on. So 10 multiplied by 10 gets us to 100. Your full budget. Make sense? That's why the multiplier is 10. Okay? So $10,000 multiplied by 10 gets us to $100,000. That's what this person has to make more than to be considered above the poverty line according to Michael Green."

Why $140,000 Is The New 'Poor' 00:10:18 - 00:10:53
Interpreted Prediction
If food constitutes 10% of a budget, and the multiplier is 10 (meaning the total budget is 10 times the food cost), then an income of $100,000 would be needed to be above the poverty line.
AI Evaluation Notes
The prediction suggests an income of $100,000 is needed to be above the poverty line based on a hypothetical food expenditure. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the poverty threshold for a family of four in 2024 was around $31,000, which is significantly lower than the predicted $100,000.
