I saw something rather disturbing today.
Down the street, a door or so down from where I live, is an elderly gentleman in his 70's. As I went out to go get the mail, I noticed a small group of people going to his door, and knocking on it. The Elderly gentleman opened the door, and they said ..Hey Happy Thanksgiving.. and proceeded to give him what looked like food goods.
But then, the woman who was there, turned to the kids, and said, "Girls, this man is poor, and can't afford to eat..We wanted you to see what poor people are like and you can see him taking this food we brought to him"
She basically was humiliating him in public in front of the group of adults and kids who brought him the food. Its was almost like someone showing kids animals in the zoo, and you could clearly see the older man who received the goods was upset at the comments.
Had I been him, I would have said, "You know what? Keep your food, I have a jar of peanutbutter on the shelf, that will get me though, have a happy Thanksgiving," and slam the door in their face.
Why does one have to pay the price of being poor, by having some stranger assume you are worthless and show that you are in public?
That woman sucked, and I felt bad for him to be put through this.
I give that one-half chopstick.

That runs in the negative bong range. I want a refund.

Actually, I find it completely credible that a Lib/Prog do-gooder did such a thing. And then hopped into her Subaru and lectured her little Proglings-In-Training about the horrors of the Trump economy.
While a parent should educate their children about being charitable and hospitable - especially by example - it should be in private, a corollary to Jesus' teaching about not letting your right hand know what charitable things the left hand is doing (for the sake of any DU-onlurkers, that's what's known as "hyperbole"; Jesus wasn't teaching that hands are capable of knowledge, 'K?).

She lives in SF. That some lib would use someone's situation to openly illustrate the helplessness of the individual vs. the "it takes a village" attitude would not totally surprise me. That some other lib would find some reason to be upset doesn't surprise me, either. I mean, they do look for reasons.

y-salad lives in SF? That makes this bouncy even more credible to me. Though the do-gooder might instead have hopped on Muni and lectured her little Proglings-In-Training in semi-public.

2 doors down from the lib ... just 2 doors, and the closest lib did, nothing. Didn't offer food, and didn't come to their 70 year old neighbors defense.
That's a crying damn shame.
Glad none of this actually happened or I'd be pissed.

^^^^This. This is exactly what one could expect in SF.

You guys are right...this is exactly what profs do! Ostentatious charity. If the bouncy is true, the woman was lib through and through.
RW Christian fundlicans would knock discreetly, leave it, and go away.
