Someone on a video was recounting an incident while waiting at the grocery checkout. A single mom(?) was getting her groceries rang up, and had pulled out

her food-assistance card.  Meanwhile, two or three people behind her, someone launched into a hissy fit.  The woman-on-assistance had put upon the conveyer, a luxury food item - likely one, which the irate customer, standing one or two people behind, could not afford with his or her salary.  El-judgy had, of course, become quite loud; meh, don't they all ;/

Anyway, the speaker in the video, had grown up in a poor family and had briefly described a typical incident which had incited the (cough, cough) "adult/s" to explode into needless drama.  An incident which non-poor don't even think twice about - a child's legitimate use of about 3 to 5 gallons of water...hello, this is america - not some ... ugh place (with creepy statues every bleeping where ... funny, how that correlates with gpn ;/  but i digress...)  Very needful to say, the person doing the video had expressed compassion - yaay!

What the judges don't get (or flat out, lack common kindness) is: poverty NAGS ... all the flipping time.  And here's the deal, when a poor mom, or elderly person, somehow manages to stash a few $20, you can about bet your raggedy boots, some nocount is watching, and will just up and TAKE it...ya know, for booze or drugs.  When you're poor, you're stuck with living around two-legged turds.

So, yeah...after about the 17th time you get ripped off by dung-druggie, it only makes sense to go out and buy a fancy steak, or go have your nails done.
