I'll be brief since I start my crappy ass job in 17 minutes.
I've had a recent encounter with the attitudes of most people in this country, the whole capitalism idea... unless you got money, fuck off.
I went to work, didn't have much to do since there was a blizzard and flights were cancelled, so that was all and I had to go back home right, wrong, whole airport shut down and I was stranded, no money, no way of getting to the subway. So maybe you heard about it, but I was trapped at howard beach A train for the entire night until they could get the thing running.
Sad really, if you don't have a dime on you, no one will help you out. During the hours I was stuck, I didn't fully panic because I knew that eventually I'd get back home at some point, I just didn't anticapate nearly starving for hours. I was terribly hungry with no way of getting even a bag of chips. And of course people were all around and stores were open, but it was like being thirsty and being in the middle of the ocean, couldn't hope to get a damn thing to sustain you for a while....
long story short, on the brink of passing out, some generous young woman, challenging my hatred of females all together, noticed I was dying and gave me some peanuts. My GOD I was alive again after that... And all it took was someone giving a damn about a stranger. I'll never look down on homeless people again. this world is THAT cruel. we have an over abundance of food yet people starve out there. UNACCEPTABLE.
After that, I got even more hungry and resorted to grabbing mayonase packets and eating them since they had protein and carbs.
It just sickens me that we're an obese nation, but god forbid we help each other out with some free meals... just sad.
I don't care about people who have everything and give nothing anymore. That's just wrong. It's not a lot of people's faults that they got fired or they have trouble with money, it shouldn't be the end for them... not here in this country... but talk is cheap, unless you're actually going to go out there and save lives, stfu i guess.
