45. Subjective inability to put oneself in another's shoes.

Thu Dec 5, 2019, 11:21 PM

Dec 2019

Lot of poor people lack any transportation to meet the requirements, lot of poor people are caring for other poor family members and can't meet the requirements, lot of poor people are disabled but not disabled enough to meet the stringent requirements and hoops to collect the pittance that is SSI ect. Your narrative shows a lack of solidarity with the struggling. The money to fund this program is a pittance compared to the money being drained by the wealthy and the owners of this capitalist plantation.
