Too Poor to Work: Why Wages Don’t Cover the Cost

[@Lindemanchannel]

Healthcare is an additional tax Is a privilege to be alive tax.

People understand taking care of dogs for it to thrive, but not humans. Make no mistake, we are owned in the same way a dog is owned due to the way rich people decided to structure society.

And they wonder why CEOs are getting attacked on the street. Mystery of the century.

We can't afford to get sick, and meanwhile the 1% are buying sneakers that are so intentionally destroyed they are hardly wearable for $3k. We need complete reform before a complete reset becomes the only option.

[@justhomas83]

I'm finally off from work and guess what I'm sick of course.

[@justhomas83]

I'm not even surprised I knew it was going to be like this

[@Jill_P]

@@justhomas83 Aww, sorry to hear you're sick. Hope you get the opportunity to feel better, which is something we should all be given, but often aren't.

[@sagittariushenanigansss]

You know I think that is a good idea but I think MS should create another KZbin channel as I’m learning KZbinrs really get their money from making multiple channels.

[@ennuiblue4295]

​@@sagittariushenanigansss true, also I've seen channels yeeted, so it's good to have a back-up

MillennialSteam: Many salutations!!! I have been prowling around KZbin watching your videos and prosecuting some introspection about the kind of life I have been leading; for the sake of keeping it quick and dirty, I have been forced to choose between being housed or being employed. I am a 1980s kid and 1990s adolescent at heart; unfortunately, that time period was spent under the jurisdiction of Baby Boomer parents that prioritized their convenience above my competence and insisted upon forcing me into the same college preparatory adolescence in defiance of the fact that I would then have no practical data how to function as an adult even if I had succeeded with the tertiary education. I was forced into extra-curricular activities instead of building an employment history along with a civilian motorist history and a consumer credit history -- the latter of which I have had some success while stopped cold in my tracks by the former. My Baby Boomer family government has driven home to always be polite to the police and that every police officer seeks to slay me because i am a black man along with the fact that being a black man means I have two strikes against me; considering that Harris County @ TX has twice private-sector employed me but will not house me as a single person while Bexar County @ TX has housed me four times while consistently refusing to private-sector employ me all the way back to February 2002, I have come to believe that my developmental neuro-divergence (which I did not ask to be born with) is the third strike -- and we all know what happens in baseball at that point. I have been very fortunate to not have been face-to-face with the police in the adversarial fashion that has been the case with other black and Hispanic youth; still, my arch-nemesis has been in the form of corporate landlords whose opinion of me all of a sudden turns rancid to where they decree homelessness of me. I was housed in my first apartment in Balcones Heights from September 2002 to August 2011 because I saw some concerning structural damage -- about which I blew the whistle -- and stumbled upon a hidden list of forbidden repairs; upon transferring everything of value, I left the apartment an absolute mess in defiance of an active rental lease. During the time I was housed in my second apartment (also in Balcones Heights) from August 2011 to September 2017 (which ruined my 40th birthday!!!), I went through an anthology of property managers whose opinion of me gradually soured even though I was always punctual with the rent and did my best to be a good neighbor to everybody; unfortunately, even though I agreed to have a home service attendant 3X/week to compensate for the fact that I am not my own best butler, I wound up homeless because the two week administrative turnaround time was long enough for the decision to be made against renewing my lease. The third apartment in Leon Valley in which I was housed from November 2017 to April 2019 thanks to my mom availing herself as the mouthpiece for GVA Property Management to order me into the streets because she acted as the guarantor ties right in with what you were saying about your Generation Z subordinates constantly coming up short on rent and having to import their parents' financial assistance. What has me really sore at this is the fact that I was building the argument for a civilian motor license so that I have the break-out capability to rent a U-Haul in the event that my landlord has a rough menstrual cycle and suddenly wants me homeless; further inflaming my frustration is that Central Park Driving School's sudden cynicism about my chances of conquering the Road Test in order to get my civilian motor license. I even explained to the instructor about GVA Property Management's sudden decision of homelessness as being why I was so determined to get my civilian motor license; unfortunately, instead of inspiring compassion, that instigated Central Park Driving School to play dog in the manger which forced me to solicit assistance from another driving school for a second opinion. Long story short, I did successfully conquer the Road Test and get my civilian motor license on 5 @ July 2019; unfortunately, that was after I had already been forced out of my Leon Valley apartment where I had to leave behind my PlayStation II along with my Super Nintendo Entertainment System and my Game Boy (which I had since I was an adolescent!!!) along with an anthology of games for all three because the Texas heat . . . those of you with the requisite background data know the conclusion of that sentence. Leon Valley . . . even though it was not completely my choice to end up resettling there, I really wanted to give Leon Valley its fair day in court like was the case with Balcones Heights. Leon Valley has 6X the land area Balcones Heights has; I would have loved to have explored that to see what lies in store! Setting aside how my two ex-landlords unjustly chased me out, I really enjoyed my time in Balcones Heights and am confident that it would be the same for Leon Valley. I believe that it would be amazing to successfully purchase a house in Leon Valley so that the whole drama with the landlord is finally behind me . . . ; since then, I have been interested in exploring San Marcos and even San Angelo -- the former of which I came upon during an Insta-Cart batch at the helm of a 2020 Audi Q3 that pisses through gasoline like a winded racehorse with only $13 cash in my pocket while the latter is somewhere I have never been. One thing I know for sure . . . San Marcos and San Angelo are both WAY LESS of a headache than San Antonio is -- especially with people starting to realize what a losing proposition the US macro-economy has become because of these junk plutocrats!!!

In the end, no one has anyone to fall back on. Unless you accumulated enough AND treated your progeny kindly, you're on your own until the day you drop the body. My ex (not the one who had an appointment in Heaven) took care for a while of an old engineer who accumulated enough (though not enough) yet his adult children still have a grudge against their father. Last we both heard, his kids were dumping him into a nursing home NOT in Florida and arguing on how to divvy the old man's loot. Health "care" is actually having enough bandages and aspirin to get through whatever. I make sure to have enough additional vitamin C to avoid catarrhs and other enjoyable ailments. Haven't killed myself on my bicycle yet. Problem with the UBI is it'll come out of the proletariat, not the plebeians, the equites, or the patricians. Why? Because the patricians are the ones who come up with the rules, the equites are the military, and the plebeians are the owners of industry. (Well, maybe some of the less-connected plebes will end up in the proletariat as a "sacrifice" to "society". )
