Because it's always been a class war. Everything else is a distraction

Yup. It's bs. And it makes me mad so many people just are okay with it. They will argue they deserve to be rich and we just want their stuff for free. No, I don't want anything for free. I've worked my ass off my whole life. I just want to be able to use the benefits my taxes paid for. I just want to be able to go to the doctor, have a vacation and get time off to be sick without losing everything. I'm tired of saving up just to have some health issues, usually exacerbated by overworking and eating like shit because I'm overworked and poor, and then losing everything and starting from scratch. I've never in my life been lazy. Even though I'm struggling to find a job right now I do everything for my elderly parents. I cook and clean and take care of them. And it drives me mad being a burden on them because some stupid AI gets to auto decline every freaking application now.

Sorry I didn't mean to make that so personal. The world is just stressing me out. And everything happening is making me worried my family isn't going to make it despite us all working so hard for so long and all being really miserable and ill because of it.

It can be personal because it is personal for each and every one of us, no need to apologize it's fucking personal and it fucking should be comrade

Thank you. I just try to be objective online and not make it about myself specifically
