People who are disabled, poor or on fixed incomes should be allowed nice things.

Society acts as though anyone receiving assistance should be forced to make do with the bare minimum ALL the time.

It’s suffering as a policy choice.

It’s cruel and unnecessary.

@broadwaybabyto Someone told me once that the key to understanding the conservative/right/rich ideology is that it all stems from the idea that rich people are rich due to their virtues and that being rich is virtuous, and poor people are poor due to their failings and being poor is a failing.

After that day to me, all govt policies suddenly make perfect sense as to why the performative cruelty is so important to those who propose and support them.
@aj
Are the government policies meant to punish the poor and reward the rich?
