My response:

@errollouis @LindseyChrist @JohnCLiu We need a society where people have jobs that allow them to feed themselves

I'm so sick of these politicians, celebrities and media figures using their charity work for these self-serving p.r. opportunities.

Hey Errol, want to help the people you were serving at the mission today?

Stop shilling for the neo-liberal project that fetishizes the market above all and commodifies every part of human existence.

Help build a world where no one has to go to a Bowery Mission on Thanksgiving and have some fevered ego like yourself feed them.

Your ladling out gravy today did nothing in the grand scheme of things except give you the opportunity for some p.r.
