The Module says to play either "Are you a Dream Hoarder" or "Spent - The Poverty Simulator". And while i understand what the purpose of this is, to present something emotionally challenging to get a more privileged subset of people to feel connected to these issues and have a more full understanding for the forum post.
But as someone for whom poverty is an ever present fear, who is most definitely not privileged in that way. It was just upsetting without presenting anything i wasn't already painfully aware of. There might be a better way to emotional effect the learner without relying on a sense of ignorance in that area
