Service industry. Paycheck to paycheck. I get 2 days off a week .
I… uh… oof, we're getting a little emotional here now. Ok, rant time I guess! I feel like I'm drowning. Just straight up; not happy, ever. I can fake it. I do quite often; but like… How is this ok? I see coworkers and regulars more than I see my partner. I don't even have health insurance. Haven't for years. My feet always hurt, my back goes out every once in a while, and my sleep debt is in just as bad of shape as the rest of my debt. Both a gallon of gas and a pound of ground beef are above $5, and nukes are being teased after a global pandemic in which I was deemed “essential” pre-vaccine. What the fuck is wrong with the US? We're not ok.
