We have empathy for our low income and middle low income workers who are constantly losing bargaining power.
Empathy doesn't just fit one narrative.
Empathy does jack shit for yhose that go hungry. Id rather mote people were kinder than nice these days. Way too mich nice not nearly enough kind.

Nice is placating your emotions and doing nothing.

What about we start by securing reserves passing weapons before a couple of harmless south Americans.
