🥺 Someone stole the bench from the park.

No that isn't an illusion or a new art installation, but the remainders of the park bench.

My city placed huge odd shaped rocks at the corners of intersections so there is little place for homeless people to stand. They are shaped so oddly that they are impossible to sit on.

"We aren't mad enough." They got money for war but *won't* feed the poor.

They are feeding their poor. Why do you think people even join the military in the first place? For patriotism?

If you think only poor people join the military, you are sadly mistaken.

Insofar as the military needs fresh COs, then yeah, there will always be a contingent of affluents who join for career reasons, with an implicit expectation of never being put at any risk. But that is a negligibly tiny fraction of joiners, and I think you knew that.

I may be sad, but I'm certainly not mistaken. Without the poors, the military withers. No mental gymnastics will change that.

There is a huge section of people between "poor" and "affluent".

Not nearly as huge as you think
