Reply #81: We're seeing the pain already [View All]

Taverner, thank you for writing this. I have the same feelings.

Those who so gleefully welcome the economic meltdown have NO IDEA what some people are going through already. We're lucky. It's just us and the felines, and hopefully, we can keep everyone fed and sheltered. At the same time, the sacrifices and the changes will be very, very hard for a LOT of people, including many who are just trying to keep their kids fed and safe.

We're pissed that the other side doesn't have any humanity? What about our side? There are going to be those that are beyond even reason, but the vast majority will be people who are cold, hungry and broke, just like any of us might be.

I don't get their "particular brand of schaedenfreude", either. I'm too busy encouraging my husband and looking for any little job I can find as well.
