[quote=Anonymous]This is an extremely hot take from someone who grew up extremely poor. I think it's inappropriate to chastise people who donate, in part because it makes them less likely to donate in the future. And second, because being poor actually does offer skills-- incredible improvisation and problem solving skills. I'm not sure being poor *should* be comfortable. Being poor is not a safe way to live, and removing the reality of poverty and making it easy and comfortable does no long term favors for poor families. I'm not at all saying that they should be left hungry or in danger. But having to improvise or figure out how to make frosting (have you ever even been truly poor if you don't know how to make various frosting recipes from scratch?!) isn't cruel. [/quote]
