How he ends that post churns my stomach. It doesn't upset me, it's sort of just... saddening. Growing up isn't easy and requires a "a bit of effort"... wew. All these people were just missing some condescending business owner there to say "Put in a bit of effort, would ya?"
I have to remind myself after conversations like these how lucky I am. Especially with my medical history. Yikes.
EDIT: Remembered a quote from my research that fits CJ's perspective very nicely; from the Topeka Advocate, 1886: "The horror of 'paternalism' hangs like a black pall over the buried hopes of the helpless poor."
