      …

      Did you literally just use “there are fates worse than death” as some kind of comeback to someone saying that not being able afford necessities leads to “losing” (death), implying that a society that allows this to occur should change?

      What are you saying? That people not being able to feed and/or house themselves is fine, because there are worse kinds of “loss”?

        having been penny less and homeless with my family and surviving because it’s what my family does, has always done.

        they are poor and hungry but I have explained my baseline of losing and being poor. What is your baseline?
