(5,004 posts)To answer your question, no. I have members of my church who won't look at me as they walk by because I'm beneath them in stature. The dentures I have were made by a Medicaid approved dentist, it took more than a year to turn them from his original cast of horse teeth, no joke, to where I can wear them now for a few hours without pain, as long as I don't eat. Seven additional visits after which I just gave up.
It's not the rich I worry about treating me like shit, it's the ones who are that one paycheck away but won't acknowledge it that hurt the worst. There are way more of them, than the billionaires. The cruelty of their dismissals is almost intentional so as to create a further imaginary gap between me and them.

I've never posted my GFM link in a comment but this is so on point. I hope you don't take offense.
Thank you for your amazingly poignant post.
