"I came from the kind of poor that people don't want to believe still
exists in this country. Have you ever spent a frigid northern-Illinois
winter without heat or running water? I have. At 12 years old were you
making ramen noodles in a coffee maker with water you fetched from a
public bathroom? I was."

A good refresher, with some reminders about class privilege.
