A neurodivergent person posted in my local community group that they desperately needed food, and even posted a picture of an empty fridge with nothing but a tub of butter and some baking soda in it. There were plenty of people posting links to outreaches that could help, but there were also a few 50-65 year old white dudes saying, "Everywhere is hiring! How about you fill out some job applications instead of asking for handouts?"
I called one of the dudes out and told him that even if they got hired tomorrow, that won't put food in their fridge today. He said, "if they had been working, their fridge wouldn't be empty," and proceeded to call me a clueless millennial.
What the fuck do we do with these people? I hate sharing a world with fucks like these that don't carry a shred of empathy.
After three days without food, these people would become deranged. They have been entitled to comfort their entire lives, and unfortunately they will live and die without ever having to know what that means.
My folks have legit become more stressed and angry over the inflation period and having to reduce the red meat they eat, mfers would die if faced with the economic horrors most people born after the 1980s have faced.
