It's easy to be optimistic when your friends aren't starving and struggling to afford transportation or find work. I'm not talking from a doom-scroll, I'm talking from lived experiences where I'm seeing people drop like flies in a system that is rigged to wring every drop of their energy and time from them for the least amount of compensation. How many people do you know who work for Wal-Mart? How are they doing right now? How many unemployed people do you know? People who are getting evicted? I know at least 5 and they are all doing terribly. The cost of living has nearly doubled for the poorest among us and wages have barely budged. They can't afford to live close to their jobs because of skyrocketing rents and can't afford cars to drive to work. They have no savings and are a hairs breadth from homelessness which is becoming a bigger target for police.
