That's horrible. I am so glad I live in America!
HA! We think we're SO 21st century!
Poor thing.
But Cach, if they did something tangible for other people they wouldn't have a fleet of $100,000 cars that run on grass clippings, or their $10.000,000 homes designed by autistic architects of greenland. What would we do then? They need the 3rd world poor to make themselves feel better!
(sidenote: this is to be read dripping with sarcasm just like Baklava drips with honey!!)
Just when money woes threaten to overwhelm you, you read a story like that and it slaps you in the face. The poorest of the poor in America are still a million times better off than anywhere else. I read somewhere that in America 92 percent of the people in the lowest income bracket have a dishwasher. A weird little fact, but when we can have "luxury" items and still be considered flat broke, we live in a great place.
