I am sitting here doing the ok pay bills and what’s left juggle so many of us do. I have to ask, is this what life is meant to be?
Sure, it is fairly easy to find a job these days. Everything is going up except what is left in the banks. Then you look at the corporate world and see they are having record profits. They are raising prices but not raising wages. We are all literal slaves to the corporations. Why did we decide this is ok? When did we decide to put the businesses ahead of people.
Mental health issues are increasing as the financial chasm grows. Something has to change. This is a chasm that is going to keep growing unless we say enough. When do we put our collective foot down. This backward madness needs to stop.
How has this affected you and your family? How do you get around this? What sacrifices have you had to make?
