You've shared with us some circumstances regarding your adopted daughter....
If she had fallen through the cracks and not been fortunate enough to have been adopted by a stable family....
Would she have had a major disadvantage as a child and as a teenager and as a young adult and as an adult???

As JG stated some folks start out life with too many obstacles in front of them....

If that were true, then everyone would be happy making $7- $10 an hour, since they are not "poor",,, as long as they don;t spend to much relative to their earnings.

It depends on where they live and the cost of living. $8.50 an hour is what McDonalds pays here. People work there and live here.

Like Ben Carson?

Both of his parents came from large families in rural Georgia, and they were living in rural Tennessee when they met and married. Carson's mother was 13 and his father was 28 when they married, and after his father finished his military service, they moved from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Detroit, where they lived in a large house in the Indian Village neighborhood. Carson's older brother, Curtis, was born in 1949, when his mother was 20. In 1950, Carson's parents purchased a new 733-square foot single-family detached home on Deacon Street in the Boynton neighborhood in southwest Detroit.

When Carson was five, his mother learned that his father had a prior family and had not divorced his first wife. In 1959, when Carson was eight, his parents separated and he moved with mother and brother to live for two years with his mother's older sister and her sister's husband in multi-family dwellings in the Dorchester and Roxbury neighborhoods of Boston. In Boston, Carson's mother attempted suicide, had several psychiatric hospitalizations for depression, and for the first time began working outside the home as a domestic worker, while Carson and his brother attended a two-classroom school at the Berea Seventh-day Adventist church where two teachers taught eight grades, and the vast majority of time was spent singing songs and playing games.

There's more but Ben Carson was not held back by adversity and being poor. He became a successful neurosurgeon.

I should wait to hear from MCG....
Why did you select an African American?
Aren't there brown, yellow, white examples?

Lazy are you? Can't you do your own research? Your assignment is to find 5 white people to match Ben Carson, 5 hispanics, 5 asians, and 5 native americans.
 
FedEx unveils autonomous delivery robot

FedEx Corp has unveiled an autonomous vehicle to meet the rapidly changing needs of consumers. The SameDay Bot has been designed to help retailers make same-day and last mile deliveries to their customers.

With the bot, retailers will be able to accept orders from nearby customers and deliver directly to customers’ homes or businesses the same day. FedEx is collaborating with companies such as AutoZone, Lowe’s, Pizza Hut, Target, Walgreens and Walmart to help assess retailers’ autonomous delivery needs. On average, more than 60 percent of merchants’ customers live within three miles of a store location, demonstrating the opportunity for on-demand, hyper-local delivery.

No more pizza delivery with people? (hint: goodbye minimum wage jobs)
