When 60% of our population lives paycheck to paycheck, that means 60% of our people are living with chronic economic anxiety. It’s a rolling form of PTSD; not post but rather present traumatic stress disorder. This isn’t a mental health crisis; it’s an economic justice crisis.

Constant stress over simply surviving has been shown to contribute to illness & disease, let alone the impact of not eating well & getting enough rest or nutrition. It makes me wonder if there is a correlation between constant stress & anxiety and the amount of crime and suicide.

There’s something to what you’re saying. I’ve always been a freelancer. Always economic uncertainty. Then during pandemic I could get unemployment…guaranteed for months. Was a huge emotional weight that was lifted for first time in years. So I agree with you.

The more afraid and isolated you feel, the more compliant you are.
