No, actually it does reinforce it. I wasn't just speaking to the demographic where having to show up at school in last season's clothes is the kiss of death. It's getting pretty hard to make any kind of a decent living--it's not the luxuries you need to work triple-overtime for, but the basics--food & shelter. In the areas where this particular incident occured, where folks are rolling pennies just to buy macaroni & cheese things get a little more desperate.
