Am I supposed to he sad? I have lost empathy for people who do not help themselves and believe access to another mans laboris his right. Certain neighborhoods remain poor forever because they wait for others to do for them

Trying to see the downside to this ... trying .... trying ... trying. Nope just can’t see it. Junkies are worthless. They just use medical resources that would be better spent on people who didn’t knowingly cause their own problem. They lie they steal they harm innocent people. Let em od.
