Random stranger commenting to say I appreciate how this played out and kudos to you both. This comment chain is a striking example of the exact problem we’ve inherited as a society, and its solution!
Those of us (nearly everyone) abused by the extremely rich have this tendency to lash out at anyone within reach that just miiiight be wealthy enough to be part of the problem. The reality is that you - and literally almost all of us - will never rub elbows, pass in a hallway, even glimpse - the (extremely rich) people actually causing our problems.
That’s the whole fuckin thing, how the misdirection of rage that fuels the whole shebang, is created. You (we) can never even really SEE the people who are doing this to us. We’re all furious, and the villains have been invisible for so long that we’ve gone dumb - attacking one another, fellow sufferers - has become damn near instinctual.
The solution (or part of it) is right here in y’all’s comment chain too - just a sudden realization that the person doing a little bit better than you (us) has nothing to do with your difficulties. It’s almost always the fault of the invisible, antihuman greed monsters.

Don’t think twice about it, I hope you start to get some Ws soon. We all deserve some grace. I truly hope things get better for you and you can bounce back. I really appreciate the reply and the private message apologizing.
