A lot of my essays are lessons learned from experience, or purging something that needed to be expelled. I'm glad people enjoy them.

This is very moving. It's truly awful how little society seems to care for those who do such difficult work.

That particular aspect (along with how inmates and ex-cons are treated) has stuck with me in the ensuing decades, and shapes some of my non-profit work. It is incredibly dehumanizing to be poor and/or a convict.

For sure! And the assumption that poor people are lazy adds to it.
