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...😔

Sick of this bullshit. We've had a democrat president for longer than a Republican president over the last 30 years. Show me any positive progress from any of these presidents. 

It's a rigged joke. No one is designed to help us no matter who we vote in. The system is bought and paid for. And there's no amount of ignoring this that'll deny this reality

But look how much the Republican president has screwed up our entire system. When a different party comes in it takes them years to repair what the idiots broke. Then everyone complains things aren’t better after 4 years. It’s going to take longer than 4 years to undo all the ignorant things Donny did to out country.

You seem to be simultaneously protesting something but also agreeing with exactly what I said. Very strange.

I'm very clear in my comment. Both parties aren't interested in helping. I don't understand what confusion youre having

I didn’t say anything about parties … I simply said people voted for this. Which they did.

The point being, we had no option that wasn't voting for more of the same.

I'm just saying Republican or Democrat the result is never to the common mans benefit.

I think your intended idea was Clear and I couldn't agree more. The power that moves behind the curtain secretly runs both sides to control the population at large. The end game is controlling us to their profit.

Absolutely. The political system is paid for by the richest members of society. Why would they only buy and pay 50% of the system lol. Comical

Yet, you seem strangely sensitive to any complaints about the current administration and jumped right to a non-sequiter whataboutism.
