        IIRC she was being shown low income housing, and judging by her reaction it was the first time she'd ever seen it

        This is my first time seeing the kamala one, I'd like to know the context for that one

          That place is nicer than a lot of places I've rented. What's more is they have disposable income for plants.

          I don't believe that was a genuine reaction. What I think happened was she was told there was going to be this photo op, and she hammed it up a bit for the cameras. That doesn't make it any better, In fact it's worse for different reasons.

          Also, I especially hate this picture because her stance and facial expression reminds me of my horrible grandmother that I wish would keel over dead, so there's that.

              Yup. She gets the wall for that and for crying and then voting for... You know what? Honestly I forgot what she was voting on while crying. Did she honestly think the DNC was going to black bag her and take her to GTMO for being the symbolic "no" vote? It was going to fail anyway if I remember correctly

                  Figures it would be something soft that even her own party spins like crazy to be a good thing. I wonder if they hit her with Le Trolley Problem™

            I thought I read somewhere that she was curious about the bamboo plant in the sink, and it was more of a saccharine "WOW DID YOU GROW THAT? WHY IS IT IN THERE?" moment, after which the lady who lived there explained that the Secret Service had made her move it from in front of the window. Something along those lines; it has been a while, and I'm not spending my Sunday fact-checking on behalf of Hillary goddamned Clinton. lmao

            certain plants and their soil microbes are pretty good and economical for improving indoor AQ, especially with respect to weird xenobiotics like formaldehyde that are in upholstery, book/wood adhesives, gas appliance releases. lean in to the biophilia. obviously, also routinely change air filters and service HVAC systems is a given.... though maintenance of such things can be outside of the power of a resident.

          IIRC she was being shown low income housing, and judging by her reaction it was the first time she’d ever seen it

          i mean, to be fair, i think that's a natural and reasonable reaction to walking into place where there's giant plants overflowing from the sink.
