Many times, especially here on DU, they tug on our heartstrings. I think Dems feel like they SHOULD be giving, and so they do.
I mean- we don't know mvd personally- I can make up stories in my mind (and I won't indulge them here)- but what he is writing COULD be and might be true.
Then again, he has shared his full name with us, and some of his background....so I know his father was a well educated man that worked for the government...and I wonder why there is no pension? Why would a man of that intelligence buy a home that he knew his wife and disabled son would not be able to afford after his years long battle with cancer? Why didn't he leave an insurance policy? IF as mvd claims, why didn't his parents have him declared disabled two decades ago? mvd is obviously educated, obviously was upper middle class and clearly writes well. He would have done very well in jobs such as copywriting, content creation, or technical writing.
I will never know the answers to any of these questions. However, I DO know that it appears that he is addicted to the easy peasy money of GFM, and people usually don't attempt to stop their addictions until they are at rock bottom.
It's a rabbit hole of thought and a commentary on who we are as a country, and who we are as an online country.
