This was in 1992. I like how George’s example, that we only help one another after a flood, no longer even applies in the US, as you have people arguing some people from some places shouldn’t be helped even after a natural disaster.

    It would take me a hundred times longer to explain my politics. George was a genius.

      I had an aunt who told me as a small child not to feel bad or give a dollar to homeless people because they’re “bad people who deserve to starve.”

      She died wealthy as a former J&J executive. What a fucking train wreck of a society where monsters like that get to live a life of gluttony for their dedication to private profit and schadenfreude.

      Our values are wrong. Our values are disturbing.

        holy shit. that makes my relatives callous indifference look outright benign.

        Was she hurt by a hobo as a child? fuck… what does it take to judge people like that.

          Oh no, she was just a gleefully hateful bitch.
