I saw this on FB on my phone and meant to go back and find it. Thanks to the awesomess of supergee I didn't have to!

This is how to go shopping:


Part of me thinks this ought to be from a 1970s Hungarian animated version of 2001:


And this is just pretty:

The first picture sums up the thesis of Janet Poppendiek's Sweet Charity.

1. pray for the poor
2. cut taxes and wages
3. arrange food banks/glean fields etc.
4. feed the poor with the left overs of the food they grew and you made it impossible for them to buy.

[andrewducker]

The idea that the poor should be looked after by charity* rather than by arranging society so that they can be productive and give them control over their own lives fills me with horror.


*By default. Obviously charity is sometimes necessary.

My mother taught me that charity should be for optional extras ie decorating a children's ward with Disney pics, and not for buying the beds in the first place.

[andrewducker]

I totally agree. My parents were involved in the charity for the children's ward my father ran, and it strikes me as ridiculous that they actually bought ventilators and the like, when those should be part of the basics!

"1970s Hungarian animated version of 2001" cracked me up.

Hmm, e_apraksina has been suspended. Shame, I liked many of the photos there.
