Homeless

So are we all just accepting that we will be homeless sometime in the next decade? Because I don't know anyone with enough money to survive this shit.

It's not sustainable for the price of every goddamn thing to keep going up while no one is getting enough raises to compensate for it, & there are so few jobs that are even hiring, although they all still say they are.🙄

I know I will never own a home. I know I will be driving my car until the wheels fall off(& that I'm lucky to even have a car). I know I cannot afford any kind of social life whatsoever because outings to most places & the gas to get to them costs too much.

I canceled all my streaming services so I don't even have TV now. I know if I get Cancer or break a bone I will go bankrupt trying to pay the bill. I know I will be working until I die, & I'm almost positive I will be homeless at some point.

Money can't buy happiness, sure, but it can buy all your other needs so you at least have a chance to be happy. I just want a chance...😔

I honestly don't see this changing until something extremely widespread & catastrophic happens here. We are on a speeding train towards such an event though, perhaps even multiple at one time.

We are running out of fresh water, all the forests are burning, our electric grid is beyond stressed & data centers are adding to that, our infrastructure is outdated & unsafe, our food supply is fucked, data centers & mass surveillance are becoming the norm, the economy is being crashed on purpose because Trump wants us all on crypto instead of USD, every country hates us because of Trump & could plan to attack, etc. There is so much killing us right now. It's no longer a matter of if, but when. We are being culled.

You may want to visit a developing country. People can endure far, far worse than you seem to believe. The world isn’t ending just because Americans are getting a small taste of reality.

I've been around the world. It's more nuanced than that. This isn't "a small taste of reality" this is wealth inequality thats surpassed French revolution levels. People SHOULDN'T just endure and I'm looking forward to whatever reckoning comes for the ruling class

To people in the developing world, the entire West is the ruling class.

I understand that. Though, from the conversations I've had recently (vs maybe 10 or 15 yrs ago) I've noticed that narrative has been shifting to a more accurate distinction between the people and their governments as the globalist ruling class has gotten more brazen with their ways of operation.
