       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon that's why I have no problem stopping for a chat with the local homeless people

       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Bit of perspective I've read a couple times recently:Q:  What's the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars?A:  About a billion dollars.

       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Yes, but but people don't want to believe that. It terrifies them. "There, but for the grace of dog, go I."

       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon@mastodon.social I never liked these kind of messages. You shouldn't empathize and support the weak, the minorities and vulnerable people in general, because you are close to them or might end up like them. This is selfish and offensive. You should empathize with them and support them because they deserve to be able to live with dignity and with their needs met, and because they (and all of us) demand justice and what was stolen from us.

       @styxrafting Yes, but the message really isn't commentary on homeless people. It's commentary on society's willingness to genuflect at the alter of obscene wealth while having aspirational desires to possess that same wealth. It is a reminder to all the Joe Blows out there of where their status on the social hierarchy actually falls.And a reminder that we are statistically more likely to become homeless than we are of becoming a billionaire.
