[quote=Anonymous]It was grinding poverty for lots of people in Appalachia and the inner cities. 1992, I had just started working in public health. I had positions in communities with extremely concentrated poverty. I realized later that the object poverty I saw masked how poor I myself was. It would have been obvious in a regular working class setting. But I felt so fortunate to be able to buy $5 new shoes at Ames rather than getting used shoes for 50 cents at the flea market like most of my clients. I just normalized all of us having holes in the bottom of our shoes.[/quote]
