A wise friend of mine whom is a physician over at Stanford once complained about "shit coworkers" to me. He said...
"A bad doctor is one that looks at the symptoms checked off on the chart and proscribes something for them. A good doctor is one that examines the patient to find the underlying
cause of the symptoms."
I have found this philosophy to be greatly helpful in all facets of life.
As such, while comics like this are amusing I feel they give some people a deceptively narrow view as to the "why".
Quite frankly if one more guy in his 50-60's wants to complain to me about welfare and "poor people" while jerking himself off about how "He is a humble carpenter who still managed to own his own home with a tiddy $mill+ sitting in his bank account" ill flip. How fucking myopic does a person have to be to not realize his home in the 80's for $30k is now upwards of 300k-1mill today while middle class specialty laborer wages haven't seen any real increase in decades. Or that college is now the privilege of the wealthy as opposed to almost literally free in our grandfathers day....
How is it surprising that so many dont have enough, when wealth (in the form of monies, property or opportunity) has become so disproportionately distributed?
There will always be some that take advantage...always....but I cant help but notice the folks who most commonly denounce those seeking social services in general also seem to irrationally draw links between those folks and to other demographics they also dont care for, for one reason or another.....it paints a picture
