Latest comic: You can't deny people both a living wage and public programs to compensate for a lack of the former. Of course people are going to end up on the streets!

@jensorensen Very true and topical. The only question that I have out of all of this is deciding whether our owners and masters are really this stupid, or just pretending to be when in actual fact they simply don't give a 💩

@Daniel_Berky @jensorensen Honestly, it's the belief in the inherent righteousness of suffering, combined with the Just World fallacy. One is supposed to suffer in this life to be rewarded in the next. Their preference for that suffering is literally working yourself to death, and if you refuse to do that, then you must instead suffer from the lack of having your basic needs met.

@textualdeviance @jensorensen Yes, that pseudophilosphy arose during Medievil Europe and the Roman Catholic Church in order to pacify the serfs.
