Oakland is not SF. Oakland is where people move to save money because they're too poor for SF, lmao. $2500 for a 2BR is cheap.

OP didn't really ask for your definition of the word. OP asked broadly and in quotes. And, yes with a large enough amount of mouths to feed and house, 300k could not be enough to support that and you could be poor. Granted, its unlikely.
All of that aside, I think you're just biased because you don't live in an area like SF. To you 200k seems like a lot of money, so you can't fathom being poor with that income. Poverty line in parts of the bay area is $150k.
What you don't seem to understand is the cost of housing. A 3 bedroom apartment or house (normal boring house) will cost between $5000-$20000/month. That is barely affordable on $200,000 after taxes.
You can find elsewhere in the thread where the guy shared the chart about San Francisco. So, what I said is true.
In some parts of america with a larger family, yes.
Congress gave ICE more money than the marine corps in the budget last year. They are funded for a long time. The DHS funding being withheld is for other parts of the agency. Obviously, the most apparent disruption is airport security, hence the headline.
It's completely fucked that ICE got 6 times its normal budget last year.
Everyone with a strong sense of justice is a little annoying, they have to be, and we should be grateful for them.
