I joined this group to connect with other folks like me. Occasionally that happens but most of the time the posta turn into debates with well-off people.
Let us have our hugbox.
What is the point of rich folks even joining this group? Like, why are you here? Does it boost your self-esteem to hear out stories and look down on us? Why can't we have one space where we don't have to defend ourselves?
I am a person that has always been right around the poverty line. I am also a person that was born with a high IQ. I'm not poor because I'm stupid and lazy. I was born with an invisible disability and all my elders died before I was even old enough to drive.
When I am able to maintain steady employment I work harder than most people. I enjoy working hard and creating something I can be proud of.
Why do you need to come here to tell me that I have the same opportunities that you do?
I live in a society that refuses to acknowledge that many, many people would be doing so much better in life if they had access to the resources they needed.
You got EXTRA. A lot of people never even get the basics to survive. Why do you come here to deny that? What's in it for you?
