I’m at my wits end… inflation

It's just my spouse, daughter, and I in our home. I have Bipolar 1. Due to my symptoms, it's extremely hard for me to hold down any type of job. So two years ago, I applied for SSA Disability. Still waiting on that… Meanwhile, my spouse has worked at the same grocery store for 22 years. She just now makes $15.51 as management… She can't change jobs, because we have to have the health insurance, it is thankfully excellent. With inflation only going up, our grocery bill is now triple the amount it was before. Before, we were barely getting by on $360 a month worth of groceries. Now our grocery bill is nearly $900, and we've changed nothing… What does the US government expect people to do? This isn't a political issue.

What does the US government expect people to do? This isn't a political issue. Why is it not the law of the land that all companies must adjust their wages to the current years inflation? This is basic stuff… 90% of Americans are just barely getting by now. We make too much money for any type of aid. And thanks to being in a red state, everything is ass backwards. How has this come to this… Why are companies not properly regulated?

We have to pay 37% in taxes on our income… Meanwhile, Elon Musk is over here paying 4%. So he can buy Twitter, and sleep on beds of money. Fuck the rich, and fuck capitalism. The poor need to revolt. And when I say revolt, I mean real revolts. This needs to end. Peaceful protests have gotten us nowhere. The rich need to be eaten.

It doesn't matter if Republicans, Democrats, etc. have office. They are all the same. They want us divided, so we are fighting ourselves, rather than the real issue… THEM. This system needs to be burnt down. It only works for the rich.

I'm at my wits end…
