    I haven’t seen a doctor in fifteen years. I haven’t been able to afford a car since my last one died seven years ago. I’m thirty years old having to split rent three ways. This country is a labor camp with a first world facade.

      You are still better of than most of the world. Not saying that you have to accept the way they require you to live just because other’s got it worse.

        Living a boss’ minor inconvenience away from being scraped off the street by a bulldozer while sleeping in mid winter is about as bad as you can have it short of being on the street, prison/labor or genocide.

        “Freeedums” doesn’t mean much when your life is a cycle of work-work-work-eat(maybe)-depression/stress/anxiety-sleep(if you’re lucky).

        I guess you can still say the words, “fuck trump” but we’ll see ig.
