(25,023 posts)It just doesn't change not even a tiny bit of what real people's real needs are.
For most of us there is no working when extra is wanted, ha ha...maybe next year. All I hear is "let them eat cake" almost as some revenge fantasy to make shifty whitey get his come upins.
Sorry that is not putting shit on my table, paying one bill, knocking out rent, saving a dime, or anything I have to do to survive and hopefully thrive. Certainly for my child to thrive.
I'm not one bit mad at anyone "Gnashing of teeth and wailing about their own pocketbooks.", what the hell else is ANYONE supposed to do? How is anyone in present day America sanely not doing so unless they are in the rare position of not having to?
I don't get it here. This stuff seems way, way to basic to have to explain to anyone but to small children and the trust fund set. Shelter, food, heat, water, medicine, education, experiences, recreation all require money and in this country if you are not capital then it comes from work, welfare, or charity and for most of us only the 1st item really applies.
Now, if you shrink the pool of jobs and gut wages in general then it gets very dicey and wants get chopped and needs are struggled toward. Now the racial element then blows up hard because guess who gets to the front of the line and who then doesn't even get leftovers...US.
All I'm hearing is how my less than ideal situation can become a world of shit supposedly for my benefit at some undefined time through some undefined process unless I missed something along the way.
