    Its more that I have seen for over a decade now “think of the poor” often used to talk about things I couldn’t even dream of being able to afford in the first place. Its as if people only care about poverty when it is convenient to them. I am pretty sure that the disabled get the same treatment. Disabled people need cars! Ignoring the fact that some are disabled because of cars, or completely unable to drive because of their disability while being able to walk/cycle or take the tram if those options are available and safe to use.

    When the cost of living became popular I saw a lot of “I make <8x my income> and am struggling to afford food” on TV from middle class people, at the time it felt very much like no one gave a shit about the poor until they were also struggling to afford what I had always considered to be a luxury. To them food was now £150 a week, to me it was £20 a week largely comprised of things like fried onions and beans, rice, potatoes and various other root vegetables.
