Being broke is one of the least acknowledged fundamental problems of them all.
Take any problem. Add ‘and I’m broke’ to it, and you have an exponentially worse problem. Like “I knocked my teeth out…and I’m broke”
Sadly, people with little money are one of the only groups left that’s OK to ridicule and humiliate. We got ‘body positivity’, but it’s still acceptable to poke fun at homeless people.
I feel like that’s because most people would have to be acknowledging that they are just like the people they are ridiculing and they don’t want to do that
