CNN has a segment called “The Good Stuff.”
Every Saturday, we'll bring you the big headlines that make you smile, plus stories of fascinating discoveries, everyday heroes, inspiring movements and great things happening right in your backyard.
The stories are supposed to be heartwarming. Instead, I find them disgusting. Let me know if you catch what I mean.

None of these are heartwarming stories. They are sick. Please tell me how the wealthiest nation in the world allows children to starve or tells a mother of a sick child it can’t be bothered to pay for a f**king $100 walker? So I’m supposed to be happy that a teacher had to choose between making a living and his dying child? F**k you!
Billionaires got 54% richer during the pandemic—getting an excess of 4 trillion dollars. Why the hell is anyone begging for food or the minimum baseline of health care? Are we that morally bankrupt? Is our plan to feed homeless vets really going to depend on sick children giving up their charity wishes because our government can’t be bothered?
I might have to live in this dystopia, CNN, but don’t f**king tell me I should “feel good” about it.
