It should. I used to do it with every post, but with my own disability there are times when even sharing these posts can be a major exertion, & with an average of about 5 people responding to each post here it became a personal priority depending on the way I feel while posting.
Thanks for the like.

I literally went from a social services cheque to a teaching cheque in a month, and I always said my years receiving social services was possibly one of the best experiences preparing me to be a high school teacher.

I have always believed that people with jobs that require empathy such as politicians, teachers, health care, social workers, etc. should be required to live for at least six months in the social & economic conditions of the lowest of their society. A month or two on social services may help most.

I truly forget. My brain isn't working at its former capacity, however I did paint "Gower and Prescott" specifically in the past. (lol)

But sadly, those with "power" are afraid that such equality will lessen their power. Empathy, which should be the driving force of political action, is sadly often the refuse of political power.
... and you can quote me on that.
