How is it that I work in healthcare, yet can't afford my own health care?

How is it that I have a 401k, yet can't borrow money from myself to repay to myself?

How is it that a bank can lose an instant transfer, and refuse all accountability, including replacing the money that never reached where it was supposed to go?

How is it that 1/4 of my paycheck goes to health insurance that doesn't cover any of my day to day medical expenses?

How is it that in spite of my health issues making it difficult to function at even a minimal level, I continue to work full time, yet I'm perpetually cash poor, no matter how carefully I spend my money?

The answer is relatively simple... I was born into a low-income family, and the cycle of poverty is alive and thriving.

In spite of the fact that I had finally gotten to a point of relative financial security, garnishment by a loan shark dragged me back into the red, and has kept me there.

I'm unable to get any sort of personal loan because my credit is terrible - because when I was a young adult who had lived a life with very little material comfort, credit card companies swooped in and promised me things that I couldn't afford, and I was too young and stupid to think to say no.

Our country is very much invested in the concept of "the rich get richer as the poor get poorer." Those with money can get financed with lower rates, buy more reliable cars and afford repairs, buy newer homes, etc., while those without money are charged exorbitant amounts for any type of credit, when they can get it at all. And that's not even getting into the cost and availability of healthcare, preventative care, etc.

Our system is absolutely fucked, y'all. "If there is hope, it lies within the proles," yet we are beaten down and down and down to the point of despair. No matter how hard we try to claw our way out, some fucker in a suit is waiting to kick us back down, while saying "You just aren't working hard enough."

This is some legitimate fuckery, and why I'm a socialist. Capitalism only works for the people who were born ahead to begin with; the rest of us are merely expendable cogs in the machine that keep this shit going so that the people with money can continue to enjoy the spoils of a system carried on the backs of the multitudes of people that it turns around and shits on.

There's no freedom in this - not for most of us.

Elon Musk Announces Plan to Buy Santa's Workshop

Elon Musk has announced his latest business deal, intending to buy the North Pole workshop of Father Christmas. The sale would put the bored billionaire in control of the enterprise which makes and delivers toys to all the children in the world every Christmas Eve.

It is believed that upon takeover Musk would downsize and revamp the entire operation. He may charge children who want to receive presents on Christmas and block deliveries to those that do not meet his approval.

The takeover rumours have been unexpected and controversial at the North Pole, where Santa's workshop is based. The elves who help make the toys believe Musk will instigate mass layoffs if put in charge, causing a great strain on labour and may result in future Christmases being cancelled.

Letters from an American, 28 SEP 22 - Motivationally frightening observations, including the impact of Reagan/Post-Reagan GOP economic policies (that the new UK gov’t. is trying to emulate), and the US slide toward illiberal Christian democracy

by Heather Cox Richardson Lots of good information that should motivate US voters to act. 😬 Useful information of how GOP economic engineering has concentrated wealth in the top tier of society, and a friendly reminder that the plan was ALWAYS to try to steal an election that the GOP knew they were likely to lose by summer 2020.

Need I Say More?

Tom and Marcella gave their three children each a bowl of rice and half an apple for supper last night.  They both work at minimum wage jobs and payday is a few days away yet, so they are rationing food carefully.  Audrey’s little girl … her name is Sarah, but they call her Muffin … is diabetic and almost out of insulin.  Audrey is out of work, has no insurance, and no money to pay for Muffin’s…

Good to know that as a healthcare professional working for a non-profit and isn't sure how she will afford gas to drive home from work(much less even buy clearance Halloween merchandise), while I continue to hit new lows, the 1% can take Halloween to new fucking heights.

The cycle of poverty, y'all...

FE Engage: makes it very difficult to use and level every character since the bonus battles meant for grinding scale to be above or on par with your strongest units, and also the entire map immediately charges and dogpiles you.

ALSO FE Engage: shames you by having characters you haven’t used for a while notice and ASK to be used.

#fire emblem #fire emblem engage #fe17 #i do really enjoy the gameplay and the challenge but man i feel like. punished because i can't use everyone #it's a weird blend of old FE difficulty and forcing you to pick a team and stick with it... #...while having NEW FE's infinite grinding potential and tons of supports to see #but BECAUSE it's so difficult and only gets HARDER you literally CAN'T use the grinding to actually grind your weaker units #instead it's just the rich getting richer while the scrubs are left on the bench. and they KNOW and they're upset about #i just. DESPERATELY miss the grinding in fates & awakening. #why let us grind at all if it's so tough we can ONLY use the units that DON'T need it? #doesn't help that the game absolutely plays favorites. between MC & Diamant & Kagetsu poor Lapis is just completely invalidated #etie stands no chance against alcryst and fogado. framme WILL fall behind jean thanks to his personal skill #and then they'll BOTH pale in comparison to pandreo... #RIP anyone (myself included) who got attached to these shitty units and HAS to bench them else they actively cripple their party

Everybody gets firsts before anybody gets seconds, but for housing. It should be illegal to stock up on a basic human necessity until people can't afford it. There is not a housing shortage in the USA, there is a hoarding problem.

I judge people who own more than they need. I'm sorry, but I do. That's true if you have a vacation home or if it's a rental property. It's true if it's one property or if it's ten. Your "investment" could be someone else's first and only home.
