Reply to comment by passing-stranger in When is trick -or-treating this Halloween? by tough_ledi

For what is worth, when we grew up (assuming you're older than ~25, daylight savings time used to end before Halloween so it would get dark at 5ish and that's when a lot of trick or treating started. In 2007 it got pushed back to the first week in November so now the sun doesn't set until 6 on Halloween, and a lot of people start before then.

Also: That's really cool that you grew your own pumpkins!!

Reply to comment by MisterBilau in Number of poor people in India fell by about 415 mn between 2005-06 and 2019-21, a 'historic change': UN by AP24inMumbai

I have been jaded about "poor vs not poor" since an episode of West Wing where they were talking about raising the poverity line to adjust for inflation and someone was like "you can't do that, that would make a million people 'poor' overnight." And then the discussion was about how the standard of living wouldn't have changed, just the cut off (and it's political implications). Anyway, I imagine India is getting better in that regard, but having a sharp cutoff between poverty and not is hard to judge.
