I was one of those lucky elder millennials who got to own a home by my mid 20s. Bought cheap, the market exploded and several years later made bank off the sale of the property. I thought for once in my life I would treat myself and wife and go after our dream home. I successfully did it and it was great, but real life caught up, had to take care of my grandmother and disabled sister since no one else in the family would. It drained our bank account and had to sell the house at a massive loss and am now living with in laws in a converted shed in their backyard. Now, strapped with debt, I barely see a way back to home ownership, even renting is not in the cards for at least a couple years.
It’s awful that in the span of 3 years I went from the happiest, most comfortable I’ve been in my entire life, to the most stressed and on the verge of homelessness, all due to fucking shit healthcare and shit ass family.
They will tell you they will get fired but the truth of it all is that MAGA got permission to burn the country down from republicans and the other side is being told to take it and let them burn it all. They have gotten the message that no one will back them if they retaliate against MAGA.
Our flimsy as shit healthcare is tied to our jobs. It’s a god awful position. Go riot and we lose our jobs, lose our healthcare, lose our transportation, lose our living arrangement, lose absolutely everything. A lot of us are already in survival mode.

'murica yeah!
Cynicism aside, I am sorry things are so fucked up for you (and also increasingly so for everyone).
Sorry.
Millions of Americans suffering like this and none of you are willing to riot. Difficult to have a ton of sympathy.

You’re DEFINITELY going to lose those things if you do nothing
