So, Jesus said there will always be poor people (Matthew 26:11). He also said (everywhere!) look after the poor. The fact that there will always be poor people means Christians will always have an obligation to look after them. Any other view is a form of Christianity that doesn't follow Christ.

grease floats. when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks. the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they donāt clog the process. listen. donāt pour grease down your drains.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.
