The language of 'poor people' and 'giving' is loaded with assumptions. For instance why is somebody poor and others not? Why do some get access to a stable wholesome upbringing while others have to struggle with access to basics? We can't make claims of equality when things seem distinctly unfair for those born into poverty and the intense struggle and suffering they have to endure to survive for no fault of theirs. Access to quality food, a stable environment, learning resources, good education in the early years are critical for future success. We know how important these things are for middle class and rich families when it comes to their kids and future outcomes. But how is someone born in poverty supposed to get this? And we aren't even talking about things like networks and connections. For those lucky enough not to endure those conditions there is an unfortunate affinity among some to make glib comments about poor people, 'hard work' or social mobility that gloss over the advantages received and fail to comprehend how debilitating poverty is. Poverty itself is hard work, access to basics are 10x harder. Social mobility and easier opportunities from the 1950 that could help build fairer societies are disappearing in the 80s.[1][2][3] The whole point of society is to ensure all brains are properly utilized and people do not simply suffer due to an accident of birth. These are serious structural problems that need serious solutions not talk of 'giving'.
