So your argument is that anyone who has a reaction that differs from yours is just a defective human?

Persuasive.

No, my argument is that statements like this -

"If someone is truly desperate for food, they will find a way to get the money to pay for it."

Are both massively ignorant and quite sickening, and that if you aren't reacting at least a little bit to that sort of statement too, you may have a serious lack of empathy.

Anyway, good luck in life, I have no interest in carrying on a conversation on this matter any further. If you're not seeing it you're not seeing it, I just hope you never get anywhere you can make policy.

Your comment is pure emotion. There's no argument or information presentation whatsoever.

A word, you are a good man. The people you are arguing with are broken.
