Have you ever wondered what it's like to be poor?
Do you want to pretend to be poor?
Well, wonder no more because we have just the event for you.
The City of Highland Park, a Chicago suburb, along the posh North Shore, is hosting an event where you can "simulate" poverty.
Rather than immerse themselves in ACTUAL poverty, they'll be offered the opportunity to role play from the safety of their wealthy suburb.
This, in a city where nearly 85% of the population is White, the median household income is over $147,000 and the median property value is well over $500,000.
Apparently, the "poor experience" is a homogenous one and something that can be experienced the way a museum exhibit can be experienced.
This is merely a novelty and something to do for these people. Merely something they can say they did because they are "good people" and really, really care about the "poor." It's a continued virtue signal and meaningless, superficial act meant to make themselves feel good more than anything else.

Hacen un taller de globos en el @senadomexicano y producen a Mario de Nintendo; ¿porqué no mejor al Chapulín Colorado o a Crí Crí? ¿No pueden hacerlo en otro lugar?
¡Ya se les olvidó a los senadores que el Senado es para legislar y supervisar al ejecutivo!
Congratulations to @TripleH assuming the role of head of WWE Creative. I expect to see the great storytelling and character building concepts that were evident in NXT under his watch to become staples of the main roster. It's an exciting time to cover the business. @davescherer
