I personally find the line of thought of your post rather astonishing and even after a few years I am still not sure, how much of this is somewhat representative of a deeply disturbing mentality which is stereotypical "american" and what is just a individual abnormal lack of empathy and more so, being annoyed, that others arent even worse off.
>I always take it personally when people complain about diaper costs.
Like another poster said, you are aware, that the post is written by mother of a newborn struggling to make ends meet. Do you really take it personally, that a poor mother in the developed world is complaining about diaper prices instead of using reusable diapers? In a country where paternity leave is not the norm? And your argument boils down to the assumed availability of aid agencies?
As I am still not sure if there is a cultural misunderstanding here,
Are you aware, that in some regions, arguments like this are considered deeply antisocial and seen as a lack of basic human decency?
Normally I wouldnt think to much about a post like this, seeing as you are posting it here, you have to assume, that you are making a worthwhile argument which might convince someone after he engages with the facts you put forward.
I am just lost on this.
