poor-ness

Climbing aboard a 5 a.m. hotel shuttle I observed a wee little one riding shotgun. It’s great that children are able to spend a day with a parent at their job description but I don’t think that this was it. Unfair the disparity. Unfair that working parents in the affluent technology corridor where this hotel is situated have quality day care furnished as a career benefit while our driver hack has no such perk. No doubt he is an immigrant working all hours of the night to make ends meet. The child trying to catch Zsss in between dad’s 30 minute airport runs was quiet and unaware of her unfortunate caste. Let’s hope that when she’s old enough that she will do well in school and rise above it all.
