The little boy gets to have fun and the little girl needs to learn that she has work to do. It's nice that the boy is doing the work, but I took a different perspective.

Affordability, being an artificial circumstance, embedded in the notion of necessary poverty. Much of the debate has centered on the the notion that the inaffordability to care for people is the fault of the sick, vulnerable and impovershed people. It is propogated that ignorance and laziness are the key culprits. There is constant bombardmeent with images made to make people feel inadaquate about their own selves and raising false consistent expectations for the entire populace to adhere to. Much of the imagery regarding the debate seems to blitz the public with images of obese people. Meanwhile people are fed food tat is incredibly unhealthy... And all this cycle can happen in daily routine taking place in structures built and in every community and neighborhood and operated by economic exploited people. We call them "Super Markets" It seems sad that this is a world in which a system has been built and operated by druglords, thieves, and murderers. We are told not to trust you and me. Yet, we are told that the notion of caring for people is the horror of mankind because we are to not trust each other. Such a system in which everyone is taken care of leads to unfit society of lazy people.
