People here are struggling, and truly suffering. Please take a look, find one that hasn't had any help in a while, give 'em a boost, share it with everyone you know with a line about why it matters and an explicit request to donate.

Thanks.

I personally love how all the hypotheticals are still hypothetical AND YET they’re doing their damnedest to move us in a direction many said was a no go zone.

They have the data—they should be doing their utmost to not move us in a direction that “traps” folks into lesser evilism.
