if anyone could become a billionaire then there would be a different spread of backgrounds in the worlds billionaires, however, as we all know, the vast majority of billionaires came from the upper class

all those stories about rags to riches? they’re considering 6 figures and above rags. bill gates didn’t grow up poor, jeff bezos didn’t grow up poor, mark zuckerberg didn’t grow up poor, none of the worlds absolute richest came from true poverty, or even anything resembling it.

the select few that did come from what is presumed to be poverty aren’t even in the top 50, and even their poverty levels are questionable when put under scrutiny. the fact is they’re anomalies.

to base your understanding of what is possible for all on anomalies is bad reasoning, todd.

notwithstanding the fact that class is not the only thing we can control for, we’re not even at the point of controlling for gender, sexual orientation, various disabilities, race, and so on.

there is not a diverse spread of billionaires, this is because no, jeff bezos, not anyone can become a billionaire.

Also, sheer dumb luck should not be the only way to escape poverty.

and furthermore no one should be born in poverty in the first place. no one should be in poverty.

Imamu Baraka decided to start recording when he saw a hospital's security guards leaving a patient at a bus stop, wearing only a hospital gown

University Of Maryland Medical Center drops a homeless woman off at a bus stop in freezing weather in her hospital gown.

BALTIMORE – Overnight, Imamu Baraka was walking past a Baltimore hospital when he noticed something he says he’ll never forget.

The hospital’s security guards had just wheeled a patient to a bus stop, and in the freezing temperatures they left her there. The only thing she had on was a hospital gown.

“It’s about 30 degrees out here right now,” Baraka says in a recording of the encounter. “Are you OK, ma'am? Do you need me to call the police?” he asks.

It’s called “patient dumping” and it doesn’t just happen in Baltimore. In 2007, “60 Minutes” investigated the practice of removing homeless patients from Los Angeles hospitals and leaving them downtown.

The patient was left in freezing cold outside a hospital in Baltimore.

Often the patients are not insured or have other financial issues, but it’s unclear if that was the case in Baltimore.

“Come on and sit down,” Baraka repeatedly says to the patient in the recording. “I’m going to call and get you some help.”

In a statement, the University of Maryland Medical Center said that they “share the shock and disappointment of many who have viewed the video. In the end we clearly failed to fulfill our mission with this patient.”

The man who recorded the video called 911, and says medics ended up taking the patient back to the same hospital. Now a review is underway that could lead to personnel action against the hospital employees involved.

PHOTOS: Transgender Elders Show Us The Meaning of Survival

In the many years that Jess T. Dugan, a Boston-based trans photographer, has spent capturing images of gender-variant people, she says she’s consistently noticed a striking absence in both art and social sciences: imagery of older trans folks.

“And,” Dugan explains further on her website, “those [representations] that do exist are often one-dimensional.” So Dugan set out to fill this gap, teaming up with social work researcher Vanessa Fabbre since fall 2013 to develop the evocative photo project, “To Survive on This Shore.” In the recently released collection, diverse trans elders ages 50 to 86 are pictured at home or in meaningful spaces, gazing unapologetically into the camera, as if asking the viewer to look deeper into their unique context and life story.
