I see someone’s lived a privileged life and never lived in a poor neighborhood.
So, in wealthy neighborhoods, it’s not that people are cleaner and therefore somehow better than poor people. They actually have people to clean up the streets and yards for them. They also aren’t as crowded and don’t have as many shops near where they live. In poor neighborhoods, people can’t afford to hire people to clean up their yard and streets, there’s more people so there’s more of a chance someone is a jerk and litters, and there’s more shops so more people who don’t live there come in and also potentially litter. It’s an uphill battle to do it yourself all the time, so yeah, sometimes garbage drifts into your yard.
You ignored how clean and tidy the inside of their trailer is, where they have more control over their environment.
You’re exactly the kind of person who could learn a lesson from this comic but it goes right over your head.
Meh, I’ve lived similarly (trailer parks, a garage, slum apartments, etc) and know people that still do live similarly. It can be quite stressful and demoralizing struggling to just try to meet your basic needs. I’m not really trying to pass judgement, I just found it strange the artist included things that could be seen as contradicting the narrative. I haven’t met anyone that was happy living like this, and it really takes a toll on people.
Well, I guess I have met some people in a small commune-like thing living in sheds, an old broken down school-bus, etc. They seemed “ok” with stuff like dumpster-diving for most of their food. They were definitely not the norm though, and were fortunate to have free housing/land that couldn’t really be taken away.
