Why is everyone mean to me?

When people aren't mean they are being deceptive.
Not always. @Anonymartyr
@Spoiledbrat True, there are some nice people but nice people end up as shut-ins so nobody ever gets to meet them.
@Anonymartyr ouch! you have really had some rough handling haven't you? I am sorry that you feel this way; I hope you can have better experiences to build up a better impression...
@SomeMichGuy I gave up on the fairy tale about "good people" being able to afford going out and mingling about 30 years ago. I have yet to meet one respectable person who doesn't have to beg for groceries every month.
@Anonymartyr 😣 I think that a lot of probs in your neighbor to the South woukd be fixed by changing how money gets into politics...

If we had no corporate donations or lobbying, we could easily pass laws such that we had both living wages and a requirement that employers provide benefits proportional to work hours (so that games to try to keep ppl from having benefits--thus forcing ppl to have multiple jobs--would stop and the plethora of part-time work would tend to dry up and become "FTE's"...).

Those would go a long way to stopping this.

Also, a recent ad campaign here claimed that we could stop hunger with about 5% of our budget. I would gladly do that.
You are entirely correct.
@Anonymartyr Well, now that I see where you are coming from, I totally agree... 😣

Perhaps we can nudge things in the proper direction...
