I work at the second largest ISP in the United States. Busting my ass off everyday, I carry around an 85lb ladder, climb up 30ft telephone poles, bake in the hot sun, go into crawl spaces, under decks, and into peoples sweltering attics. All this, and I cannot afford a place to live. What’s even the point? This is a true blue collar job, it’s a trade, and I can’t afford a one bedroom apartment without being rent poor? My family tells me to just stick with it, it’ll get better, but how do I stick with it when I might not even have a place to live in the coming months? I dragged myself out of homelessness for this? Grueling 7:30am-8:30pm days? And. I. Still. Can’t. Afford. A. Place!!!! What the actual fuck is this country.
