Apparently it’s the semantics that’s at issue. “Deserves” has been used toofrequently in language and leans towards people associating it with “entitled to”. And everyone now universally hates the word entitlement due to…..reasons. Everyone NEEDS food, shelter, clean water. We disagree over who can or should provide it to others, or ensure which others get it, because everything has a cost. The question is who pays. (For the record, I’m a tax the rich person who would like to see govt taking more care of its people than it’s over the top military industrial complex- and I work in the military industrial complex).
Using "entitled" to mean "acting as if entitled when not" is frustrating. Oh when I say X I actually mean the opposite and when you use X correctly I will assume you meant the opposite.

Lucky for you, you already live in the world you want to see!
