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.

This is not a depiction of a village, this is what happens when the village no longer exists and everyone has to live in isolation from any social safety nets. Or to put it another way, Neoliberalism.
I do think there is value in pointing out how even in the most horrid conditions humans have the capacity to be nice to each other
I don't think I understand. Who is being nice in this picture? The manager for letting her employee work while they care for her daughter in a dangerous work environment prone to spills, slips, cuts, burns and other risks?
Don't you think there should be a better solution?
