Poverty, Updated

 Just the other day I mentioned this from Gereinek's Book on Poverty:

"God could have made all men rich, but he wanted there to be poor people in this world, that the rich might be able to redeem their sins."

Never-minding the ridiculousness of such a thing, and while I framed it as being set in the Middle Ages, a look at Xmastime all-time slice of slice To the Manor Born just now lets me know that such thinking on the poor continued to exist up to and including 1980, even after Audrey fforbes-Hamilton - one of my Top 10 Britcom characters of all time!! -had been forced out of Grantleigh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
