Re: January 2021 (none / 0)

Stories like this make me puke.

A heartwarming© tale so the bourgeois can go about their businesses ignoring the other 1,094 meals the family needs and systematic problem of hunger in the UK.

And the US isn't any better and in some cases is worse.

Indeed.

A different "feature" (pathos angle: startled public school teacher, Stanfield, AZ), evoking circumstances that have assured Bal'more blight, provoked me to drill into 2019 USDA urban-rural CEP, "big data" poverty sets by county this morning.

The sanctimonious "sociology" produced by US middle-class hardly ceases to amaze.

We're much worse. We're talking about a country where GoFundMe is a main way of financing critical health care and people have can and bottle drives to pay for their wheelchairs, and our whore media treat those as "feel good" stories showing scrappy entrepreneurship and self-reliance.
