Then she added one more layer of data — where people were getting help paying their electric bills each summer, from public programs or local organizations.

An obvious pattern emerged. There were big clusters of dots collected in certain areas: lots of deaths, and little assistance.

Those clusters turned out to be mobile home parks.

Yup, the poor are first under the bus.

    We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die

    The first ones in line for that pie in the sky

    And we're always the last when the cream is shared out

    For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

    And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war

    Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore

    And expected to die for the land of our birth

    Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth

    Dropkick Murphy's did a cover, but it was originally written by Ed Pickford a few decades earlier
