How Privileged Are You?

[CrispyQ]

90. I am one of the most privileged human beings among all humans that have ever lived.

Taking public transportation over the past 3 years has made that apparent to me. On any given bus trip, I am 99.9% certain that I am the most fortunate person on the bus. It's humbling. It's also why I seethe at the greed of the rich & shameless. They need more houses, more cars, more stuff, while the less fortunate go without basics.

Government should provide for all citizens, imo & it should include the following:

Three hots & a cot
Health care
Education
Child & elderly care


"In a just society, there is no limit to how high one can climb, but there is a limit to how far one can fall."

~Jared Bernstein, author of "All Together Now: Common Sense for a Fair Economy"

No one gets to have two houses, while someone is without. We don't get to claim the name humanity if we are not going to behave humanely.
