I still don’t know how some people are going to make it without the $2k/mo checks coming in. The eerie, almost surreal silence around it now is the sound of people’s hope turned into despair turned into fury turned into hopelessness turned into resignation turned into tears.

I'm two months behind on rent already. I'm not having a good time. And I'm working full time, making an okay wage, but my gf can't work right now and her health isn't great. Waiting for disability for her. Not a great time.

Exactly. We pay 700 dollars a month for our son’s diabetic supplies. I homeschool both my boys because they were getting death threats. There is no chance I will ever pay off my student loans.

I can’t wait to receive nothing because this government hates the working class.

GENERAL STRIKE March 15th. Spread the word. It's up to US to do this. We can't rely on anyone else to organize it. Everybody stops working & we shut everything down until our demands are met. UBI, M4A, & housing as a human right. Get ready to do this now. #SetTheDate

Exactly what the Robber Barrons want. Sorry to say it, but we'll get what our hands call for. If we won't get off our asses and fight for our own survival. We deserve to perish. We're going to kill ourselves with ignorance and laziness.
