It’s so wild to me that, basically a quarter of the country, 1 out of 4 working-age and capable adults are not working or making poverty wages. Not to mention the ones who do have work but are under shit conditions or still not making enough to really get by but are over the criteria to be included in this number. I wonder what is really the true percentage of people I see around 20-40 who are spending and hyping it up at the bar or whatever. Like 15% of the country or something? No way higher than 50%, probably not even another 25%. If you think about it, even just having a job and being nominally ‘okay’ still means you’re so fucking lucky.
USians are struggling so bad and yet they still refuse to come to terms with it and show solidarity with workers internationally.
