      We just live in a culture that constantly tries to convince us that people’s worth and dignity is tied to their bank accounts. If someone is a billionaire “they must the smartest and hardest working”, if someone is homeless “they are lazy and don’t even deserve to live”.

      I believe this is changing because now even average people can speak openly to the whole world and see what many others contribute, rather than only consuming what big media companies owned by wealthy executives push through mass media.
