@doctorjaymarie It can be really difficult to explain poverty to middle class people! But, of course, they're invested in not understanding poverty because if they did they'd have to question it's systemic (not moral) nature and that it could quite easily be remedied. (Sure part of it is no lived experience and naiveté but there's also a sort of psychological block because they believe they'd bulk buy/save/cleverly shop their way around any of the many, many extra costs and logistical difficulties of being poor using their middle class money saving strategies.)
