I’ve held out for as long as I can. Side jobs (I’m very good with my hands), gig work here and there and so forth, but realistically there’s nothing here that will sustain me. I’ve begun selling off my tools to survive and soon they’ll all be gone, and for what? To pay rent. Not even to eat. Just to have a roof over my head. I’m able and more than willing to do work for appropriate pay but nobody here is offering it. I’m downsizing and getting smaller but don’t think I’ll forget this grave injustice, because I will not. And I will inflict it on this shit ass system any way I can.
