It's not necessarily either/ or. They can be contemptuous of inferiors, hate social programs, and be ignorant of suffering all at once.

And in fact probably are.

The assault continues non-stop: Taking away healthcare, either by disposing of the Affordable Care Act or slashing Medicaid; weakening consumer protection laws; repealing fair wage and workplace safety laws; cutting overtime pay; jeopardizing civil rights in the name of "religious freedom"; putting low-income mothers at risk by cutting their maternity care; increasing penalties for minor drug offenses; giving our public lands -- including the homes of Native Americans -- to oil companies;

Americans with wealth and power don't generally care about the middle and lower classes. Even worse, they are doing real damage to the people they don't care about.
But why? Either these well-positioned people are 100 percent out of touch with the realities of middle-class life in our country, or they're contemptuous of those they consider inferior, or they believe so strongly in individual 'freedom' that even the word 'social' is repugnant to them.

Bix fact
In all the times that I have testified for law enforcement, I never had a lawyer start with "You think that I am a crying little shit." I've been ripped off.

Happy Wednesday! Had fun with the grands, grabbed some pantry items from aldis to restock at home. Rainy on the road but not too too bad. At least it's warmish.

I was wondering what those balls were hanging on the wires crossing the highway.

Here is everything one would ever want to know about them lol...

Blinkin's got to go, he's a wimp.

US not encouraging Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory, Blinken says

We are supporting genocide in Gaza but holding back on helping Ukraine, is there something wrong with that or am I nuts?

I don't remember this one but I really miss that era, right before MTV came in and made your looks more important than your musical ability.
