On: The cost of hand-to-mouth living

[AlexeiSadeski]

Which boots do people in India wear? The ones making $1.50/day?

They don't - they either go barefoot or they'll weave simple sandals out of jute (a very hardy grass). Note - India is mostly tropical, no need for boots (except near the Himalayas).

There are probably more Indians living near the Himalayas than there are Americans living in the mountains.
