There's a mindset at work that deserves eradication
"When you cease to be of any monetary value to anyone, you are utterly worthless."
From this depersonification comes much that is evil.
It would be easy to follow with something pithy about being mad as hell and not going to take it any more. I will not. Outrage is easy. Actions taken and words spoken while outraged are oft poorly aimed and win no allies.
My way of coping is to be kind, deliberate and helpful within my means.
