not sure how to imbed but in April 2 as part of discussion you followed up with -
"Human rights will always come before economic prosperity for me. It's the fundamental core of why we exist and do things freely, and why we are privileged to enjoy that. Even playing field for all. Worse comes to worse you just live minimalist, learn how to be frugal, or move elsewhere for economic opportunity, at least in my opinion."
thought things like this are easy for you to say as you've commented you're doing quite well for yourself.
not saying people should be denied human rights, that's not where I'm coming from.
also matters what human rights you're referring to. some people on this site have stated a decent living wage is a human right, as one example.
but I can't give any more than I already am. the loss of much income in my family and the increase in the cost of everything has my family at the end of a thin rope.
economic prosperity is at the forefront of my existence right now. I do believe in human rights but it's hard to rage against anyone when you worry every single day about losing your house or even putting healthy food on the table, or something as simple as your kid asking why the only stores we seem to go to are the dollar store or a thrift shop.
the answer to helping the disadvantaged can't be taking more from people who may not have more to give. doesn't help that you think the answer is to be more frugal or just move.
anyway, after all that I will say that I did NOT vote UCP.
