I have no sympathy for her or those hundreds of thousands (millions) like her. Nor do I have sympathy for a journalist that is too lazy and too stupid to come up with a worthy example of need-beyond-control.
They simply aren’t even going through the motions of standards and decency any more. Just plain whining to stir up trouble, WHICH by the way has had it’s desired effect with the UNITED NATIONS now weighing in on their petty third and fourth world crap hole opinions.
I did have to laugh that these stupid journalists pick an obese woman as one of the great deprived. And, you are right, it’s lazy beyond belief. I would have looked for the skinniest, most miserable person in Detroit. Of course, it might be the photographer, not the journalist who goofed up.
Still, to me, the idea of hundreds or thousands of people going without water (for whatever reason) is a ticket to disaster for this country.
