My freaking God. I volunteered at a local charity org a bit this summer and one of the first things they told us in orientation was that "most people think that poverty is about what people lack. But it's actually a mindset." That pissed me the heck off not gonna lie.
Was it a religious charity org? Those ones are often condescending assholes like that..
It was, unfortunately, yeah.
There is no hate like Christian love.
Yeah, you should have told the homeless charity you just joined the truth about homelessness!
It was a religious charity org. They weren't spreading or accepting any evidence-based truth.
