A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

It'd be funny if we weren't talking kids going hungry in our own fucking community.
Ofc there are multiple examples that fit the bill.
I hate it here.
Oh. My. God. The premise was revolting enough. I CAN NOT believe they could go a whole full step further and refuse the payment.
Is the orphancrushing machine, in fact, the easier, softer way? Not advocating murder or crushing or starving children whose parents are poor, but no one belongs in a place like this.
