"The stigma and prejudice attached to poverty create the assumption that poor people can't be smart, so anyone who is smart can't be poor. It's a perfect circle that ensures that no poor person who talks about their experience is seen as credible." -- Noah Berlatsky, "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Unveils The Ugly Truth About Being Poor In America", 2018-11-27
