It is encouraging to learn that people already suffering who have so little are still willing to give to others especially underprivileged kids, but the system that created a situation where it’s needed is a fucking nightmare and must be destroyed

    I don't think most ever will, because they want minorities to suffer. Essentially it's a whole demographic of people that shit themselves and and then walk around outside forcing other people to smell it; and as long as some of those people are minorities they will continue shitting themselves and walking around.

    The USA is so dystopian. And on top of that, he probably has a bunch of medical debts too.

    I can't imagine living in a country where you have to pay for lifesaving treatment. Although if the voters in the UK don't wake up and smell the stale-cigarette-and-puke-scented coffee, I might not have to imagine.

    My son finished kindergarten last year, he's autistic so he has a regular classroom and a special Ed classroom that he switches between. I bought snacks for both classrooms throughout the year as a thank you to the teachers and they were really happy. They usually have to buy snacks so the kids don't go hungry on top of how little they're paid. This repeats for supplies. I helped there too. They were so grateful I got the impression they've had to choose between supplies for the kids and their own needs. I live in a high cost of living area, there's no fucking excuse for this. Preying on the compassion of teachers to save a few fucking bucks is so deplorable and it's happening all over the country. Can't we make having humanity great again ffs?

    Yeah, that'd be nice. I've had cancer twice in the last year that required a surgery, overnight stay, and multi-day recovery each. Guess who's out of PTO? Love being punished for getting sick.
