I’m tired of feel-good stories about the community pitching in to help someone overcome the bleakness of capitalism during a time of need. This shouldn’t be necessary.
It’s a tool of the rich who control the media.
Is their goal to make me hate them even more? Cuz they’re doing a fine a job.
It’s their goal to make you just comment on internet forums and then go to work the next day. Repeat
Not you. They have so much money that they do not have to concern themselves on a personal level. As long as things keep working out for them on the macro level, they will keep doing fine.
Glad you already posted my thoughts exactly. What a terrible timeline we live in.
Individually, in a way that in no way stops other tragedies. Yeah.
Posadism’s looking real good about now.
On my best day this story will make me feel very sad. On a bad day I just really wish billionaires and those who aspire to be ones die (or get eaten)
I’m wondering when we’re going to ask the big question, of whether or not burying people in a plot of land and putting up headstones is such a good thing.
Not only does it lay claim to massive amounts of land, but plenty of burial grounds have already been defiled - mostly because they were native American burial grounds…
But you know, Christian burials and the industry that exploits it.
Burry me at sea please. Let my body nourish the fishes.

What’s dystopian is a child having to work to pay for their mother’s tombstone in the first place.
Maybe. Maybe she felt powerless and wanted to do something, anything, to feel like she was contributing during the process. Without more context its hard to say. People act in weird ways when loved ones die, maybe she’s channeling her pain into something productive.
Valid point. I wish I could read the article, but I’m not disabling my dns server to do it.

You’re the type of person this sub targets, buddy.
I’m sure you think the teacher who had to have their colleagues donate sick time so they could be with their child with cancer, or the kid who sold candles to pay for his friend’s wheelchair is heartwarming too.
The whole point is that people having to do stuff like that in the first place is bad, and is the result of a very sick society.

The point is that no child should work to afford ger mothers death.
You are right though, this is a wonderful story of community coming together. I think much of the support isn’t really monetary but an outpouring of love trying to help a little girl cope with her loss. But I do agree that no one should have to experience monetary stress in times of crisis. We can all do better all of the time, not just some of the time.
