One might interpret "breadline" in five ways:
1. a REALLY catchy song by Megadeth from their album "Risk"
2. poverty threshold
3. Breadline Africa (a poverty relief nonprofit)
4. soup kitchen(s)
5. rationing

Example:
Interpretation 1
The ScorpioN responding to someone on Megadeth's website: "Breadline" is about when Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson used to have to drive downtown everyday past the soup kitchens and they would see the derelicts out in the street with their shopping carts. They realized that if they didn’t make it soon they would be one of them because they were running out of options and they had no other choice but to make it or die trying.

Interpretation 2
Guy 1: ...so the average poverty threshold for a family of four was $26,172 in 2019, $25,701 in 2018, $24,257 in 2015, $22,314 in 2010, $17,603 in 2000, and $13,359 in 1990.
Guy 2: That much in the breadline over the years?
Guy 1: Yeah.

Interpretation 3
Recently, I donated to Breadline Africa. I'm praying all those folks will live better with what the NPO hopes for.

Interpretation 4
Guy 1: It's kinda sad seeing all those people at the soup kitchen...
Guy 2: Yeah, and even with the breadline, I don't even think no one will starve without-
Guy 2's scene chick: Ugh...can we go to the mall now? I really gotta get that sexy bracelet at Hot T-
Guy 1, pissed: CAN'T YOU SEE THOSE POOR PEOPLE?!
Guy 2, whispering: Let's just go. You know how bitchy she can be...

Interpretation 5
Well...you probably know what rationing has to do with the word "breadline"...I don't, sadly.
