I write about it each day and, occasionally, come across a story that really depicts what I am referring to.
The simple fact is that we NEVER know how our vote is going to impact another. Sure, most times someone looks at a few cents and shrugs it off. However, there are times when the vote makes a difference. The financial state people are in is often lost on us for obvious reasons: people do not go around advertising their situation (well some do...they have to tell everyone but you get what I mean).
Personally, I try to spend time each week in the Indonesia section simply because I know that is a country where the medium income is about 1/10 the US. Poverty is a major problem in many areas over there.
However, tough financial circumstances are not exclusive to 2nd and 3rd world countries. Many are struggling under the banker run, fiat controlled system. I was provided a link to a story of someone in Australia. This is a Hivian success story to the Nth Degree.
Because of the upvotes of people on this site, children are going to have a Merry Christmas.
Here is the story:
