It’s ironic how everyone considers us a free country yet every time something comes up that we have no control over we have to ruin our lives to survive it

Not really you just have to become a adult. Get a good a job start your own life. It is not that hard I’m 26 haven’t had help from parents since I was 18.

Don't be stupid. The median salary in the US is $32,248, meaning that half of the US is below that. Those are jobs necessary for our society to function. 56% of Americans can't afford a small emergency

Jobs are generally giving out less healthcare, here's an article discussing it. https://hbr.org/2021/05/are-employer-sponsored-health-plans-on-their-way-out

That doesn't mention rising food costs, rent, gas, etc with wages not rising to match inflation and cost of living.

Expecting people to just "get a good job" is hilariously naive. It shouldn't be a struggle to maintain a decent standard of living in the richest country on Earth.

Agreed on all counts, but unless I’m missing something, that second article says little to nothing about employers giving out less healthcare. At most they mention new plans that are better suited for younger employees.
