    It isn’t for no reason. Victim blaming shields people from accepting how scary reality can be. It is the blanket of the cowardly and heartless.

      Remember though they love rags to riches “stories”. Someone that does make it through and they’ll talk about how all it takes is hard work. It’s humanized when they meet someone but not so much otherwise.

        Hey, I love it too! I love it so much I want to make sure trust-fund kids are afforded the opportunity to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps too! It’s a crying shame to have their amazing story arc ruined by vast riches at an early age. They should love it, because they hate people getting hand outs they didn’t earn.
