I’m trying, but unemployment in state (& their telephone lines) haven’t worked since Dec 26, rental assistance is “out of funds”, Joe completely forgot his promise to raise my $717 monthly social insecurity above the poverty line. ALL systems broken, promises failed, & I’m lucky.

Under capitalism the poor are a perverse incentive to the rest of us to sell our labor and our rights over the goods we produce.
Which we all know is a very small step from telling us to be grateful it isn't the stick.
