I don’t like how this picture masks the poor, because did it really have to take one person to show their struggles to the rich? It kind of shows how privileged the rich are. But I’m very glad one of the poor took one for the team so they’ll be recognized. They seem to want to fight for fairness/equality for themselves. It shows power
