    Where did I ever say that doing everything by yourself is better somehow? I pointed out specifically that she needed assistance. She didn’t need someone to do everything for her, she needed someone to enable her to do as much as she could for herself, and that’s also what kind of policies she fought for.

        I’m not making moral claims, nor am I saying what “should” be. I’m just pointing out an obvious feedback loop, which however does put the onus on the reader to figure out for themselves how much freedom they want to allow for everyone (again, not just themselves).

        Seems to me you’re trying to read what I said as a call for some “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” idea. Which is isn’t, if you pay attention to the words I used.
