106. Society tends to look down on the poor as if it was a genetic disorder
Yes, or some kind of crime or personal moral failing. So few are willing to really examine the source, the wellspring of poverty which is, frankly, greed. One percent of the human population is so wealthy the literally have the power of life or death over millions of people, and somehow this is never connected back to the poverty in which most of the 6+ billion people who work most of their lives just to scratch out a bare-bones survival income.
