27. The people in Washington do NOT care - it's been like this forever
Pretty much. I know it has been like this since at least the 1960s.

The area of Alabama where my Mom grew up has neighborhoods that look like this. They looked the same way when Mom was a child in the 1930s, still did when I was a child in the 1960s and are no different now. Some are white, some are African American, they are all poor.

The people in power do not care about the people at the bottom. They do not want to know about them or hear about their needs and especially they do not want to actually DO anything about them.
