At the same time it's kind of hard for me to be sympathetic. Their bowls aren't empty: they kept their cushy, white-collar, benefit-rich jobs while tens of millions became suddenly unemployed.

And that comparison can keep on going once you start bringing in folks from other parts of the world. A poor person in America is still well beyond the quality of life of a well off person in some villages.

It's kind of fucked up to say a struggling person doesn't deserve your sympathy just because their suck isn't the same shade as the other person's suck.
