I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That looks disconcerting, Gud.
Yeah, the whole "let's not let poor people get too comfortable" thing really grates my cheese. It seems tied into the whole prosperity gospel thing, where if you have money it's because you're a good person and God loves you. Thus logically leading to the conclusion that if you don't have money it's because you're a bad person and God is punishing you. Don't wanna get in the way of God's judgment and actually help the poor—God might start giving you the side-eye. It's all so distant from anything in the actual Gospels that I want to start believing in hell just to picture Oral Roberts roasting there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Gud!
Oh dear, Jesse.
The other thing verifying expenses pissed me off about is "thank you" gifts. It kind of threw me to find out that the gift cards Salespeople would send us "for all our help" were reimbursed by the company. But that's fine. But seeing that I get a $40 card from my boss for Xmas when I know she bought $200-$1000 gift cards just sticks in my craw.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
-t, I think this might be why "ignorance is bliss" is a cliche. Sorry you know too much now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
With great power comes great responsibility!
