I can't say I'm not offended, however, in Butler's portrayal of poor and homeless people along with conflating middle class "privileges" as something inherently communal. While, she does draw attention to the widening rich-poor gap, the ACTUAL poor seem to figuratively discarded for a sympathetic view of middle class destruction. Not sure that was her intention, but the demonizing of addicts and actual poor people while engendering sympathy for the loss of the middle class feels on brand for neoliberalism.
Aside from that, it was pointedly written to examine our current conditions and really look at where we are headed.
Olamina makes stark obersevations and creates a coping mechanism that drives her to action while allowing herself to submit to change.
