  I had an aunt who told me as a small child not to feel bad or give a dollar to homeless people because they’re “bad people who deserve to starve.”

  She died wealthy as a former J&J executive. What a fucking train wreck of a society where people like that get to live a life of gluttony after living a life dedicated to private profit and schadenfreude.

  Our values are wrong. Our values are disturbing.

    holy shit. that makes my relatives callous indifference look outright benign.

    Was she hurt by a hobo as a child? fuck… what does it take to judge people like that.

      Oh no, she was just a gleefully hateful bitch.
