    It’s ok. I’m just on edge because of the economic violence and austerity I experience from day to day being a citizen of the United States. You didn’t do anything wrong other than fall prey to the narrative that corrupt oligarchs have pushed on wage slaves like myself.

      That’s really rough - I know it can be bad out there. I have a friend who needed to be crowdfunded a new pair of glasses and I felt like… “This is such shit.” Particularly because both of his parents have died and he has no support network… There are a lot of issues out there, and… while we disagree on a lot… I am certainly sorry to hear about anyone’s financial problems…

      I’ve experienced poverty a little… Not a lot, and I still had a safety net I hadn’t quite hit, but like… I know enough that I am very glad it never got really bad. And so I can say it really is traumatic and scary, and it can feel humiliating. I hope new opportunities come your way and that you can break the chains.
