It was a “backpack trip”, I went to a wedding and I saw from the privileged to the unfortunate during my travels, rode the Amtrak other means of public transportation
Damm your country is fucked up, I cannot believe so many people is Brainwashed to believe it is the greatest country in the world.
First, so many homeless people. Dammit like, shit, why? I talked to a few, I shared my granola bars with one. “Aren't they poisoned?” He asked, “Sometimes people try to poison us”. WTF!?
Then, everyone I met who is not in tech or medical works 2 or 3 jobs. Shit man; devastating; so your 2 options are homeless or slave, huh?
At the very least I found sorority in people. A bus driver offering me to ride for free so I wouldn't end up stranded because I had no cash, a homeless dude who offered me a blanket, people helping me find myself at the union station so I would not miss my train.
There is no point to this post, I just wanted to vent out.
