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.

    “Is everybody okay? Let’s get something to eat.”

    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.
