personally, i am very not fond of the idea of leaving stuff on the street and then being like “meh not my problem anymore… someone will take it”… could very well be a cultural thing, but it feels very… i won’t fill out an adjective, because i don’t want to cast aspersions, and, besides, am fully open to being off base on this one. it just feels very “the ‘help’ / ‘poors’ will take it”… and for the record im not some sort of populist demagogue— quite the opposite: i was just simply raised with a “take care of your own shit” ethos. no value judgment here, and i understand the arguments contra-… or at least the first few that come to mind. what am i missing? i know this bothers many less than it does me.
