Separate and unequal

Extell, a luxury apartment building in New York City that gets credits for building low income housing which allows them to expand their rich folk condos, has asked the city and received permission to have a separate door for the poor.

For fuck's sake, Francis.

When did being poor become the equivalent of being a leper?  Despite the best efforts of Big Business and the 1%, being poor still isn't contagious.  When did being poor become an eyesore like a Port-A-Potty?  We're talking about acknowledging our fellow human beings here  When did the rich get granted special privileges vis-a-vis not having to deign to see the poor?  Ah, never mind--that's been going on since the Reagan Devolution.

You know, the rich ain't like you and me--because they're assholes.

Peace,
