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.

Including children, elderly and disabled on a fixed income, 80% of Americans live check to check & own more debt than anything else. Post pandemic the top 20% own a staggering 90% of ALL wealth 😳

Maybe the government should stop extorting 40% of their paycheck.

Working people need to begin taking back more of the economy for themselves by exercising their American right to unionize. Unionization might be a good first step with the right leaders. Media doesn’t talk about it and employers spend millions every year busting unions. Hmm.

I think it's both for many. The present traumatic stress many live under can easily lead to mental health issues. I think we see that in today's society. I feel it's part of the inability or desire for many to connect with others as people did in the past. Depression & anxiety.

There's no such thing as "economic justice". Justice is literally just the punishment fitting the crime & the rational organization of trials. Economies don't have their own separate crimes Unless you're a commie.
