Why do people toss around empathy and compassion all the time? If you flip the board people on the other side can say the same thing.

Do not have a dog in this race either way, but I just have this seeking suspension that the people that toss around the empathy and compassion cards on certain topics only play their empathy and compassion cards when it is convenient for them. It is easy to have empathy and compassion when it is not an inconvenience for you. For those looking for a house or want a house it may not be so hard.

Do not get me wrong downplaying the impact of covid is not cool. I also do not think they should turn the timer back on, but I also do not think this is a matter lacking empathy or compassion like some people like to toss around.
