If someone is worried month after month how they'll pay next month's bills no matter how hard they try, plus what will happen if a family member gets sick, they begin to experience a permanent state of trauma. But it isn't a mental health issue - it's an economic injustice issue.

America needs to understand this and get it in their brains. Your employer does not care about economic injustice. They do not care about the prices you have to pay on goods. They do not care about exposing you to any type of illness.

They do not care about your financial situation. And they deceive you into thinking they can not lower prices plus pay you more per hour or year. They deceive you into thinking nothing can be done about it.

Here is the pathological response to this real crisis by one of the architects of America’s massive wealth inequality. Hard to make progress with greedy sociopaths at the wheel for over 4 decades. wsj.com/articles/in-defense-…

exactly! for people with #longcovid the financial impact of the disease is often coupled with the trauma of navigating american #healthcare and #disability benefits. neither of which provide the support claimed.

Beware of blaming this on capitalism; its the "trickle-down myth" that overtook capitalism for the past 40 that is to blame.
Hasn't this always been the case? My dad, white male, worked his axx off but we were always poor. More because of having kids b4 you could afford them rather than economic injustice
