You guys are ****ing exhausting.
I left home at 13, had my own place and full-time job at 16. Homeschooled myself through high school because I had to work. College seemed impossible for the longest time. People here talking about loans and bad financial decisions and blah blah blah. That isn't the whole picture when you are poor. Sometimes you have to pick a terrible option because it is the only one available with even a glimmer of hope of getting out of the situation you're in. People should not be punished for that. Some people aren't just digging out of holes they made, or their parents made...now people are even having to dig out of holes their grandparents made. We always mention racism as being systemic, and I do think it is, but so is poverty.
I always had a physical house but I wouldn’t describe it as a home.
I was fortunate in comparison to some of course and am grateful for that. Living in Long Island on a taxi car salary wasn’t fun so I feel your pain. I got my first job at 14 and basically haven’t stopped working since.
Life sucks in a lot of ways. The trick though is to always move forward.
No one cancelled Thanksgiving.
People exercised individual responsibility (much treasured element of the libertarian songbook) about what they would do in the face of a raging pandemic.
And because of the fact it was raging out of control the economy has been tanking again (double dip recession?)
I'll give you one guess as to the party affiliation of those city leaders
all i can say is that i could have had as many people in my house as i wanted and no one would have bothered me...and that was probably the case for 99% of households in this country...people were free to do as they pleased
what happened in November, as illustrated by the retail sales and other economic data, reflects the failure to contain the pandemic
Oh the economic pain is just beginning
You can laugh about Thanksgiving getting cancelled all you want but there were two girls in my office of 15 people that got told a day or two before that they would just zoom call everyone and they weren’t going to risk getting together in person.
One of them I invited to ours bc it broke my heart. She was planning on driving a long way bc she hadn’t seen them since she moved here.
