my conservative relatives complaining about food drives and school supply drives. They bitch about people having children they can’t afford and then they say these people expect handouts from everyone else. It is indeed sad how compassion is an alien concept to them. My sibling once said to me that kids who grow up getting “free stuff” grow up to be adults who expect “free stuff.” It is just mind boggling.
