Thats the catch 22 of America, its "good" except when its not, and like 60% of Americans are one missed paycheck away from it being "not" - And once you're there this country hates you and does everything it can to make sure you stay fucked.
See: SCOTUS ruling the other day that you can't illegalize homelessness but you CAN illegalize homeless behaviors like sleeping outside or in a tent.
(Because since pot is increasingly legal we have to bolster those legal slavery numbers somehow!)
I totally agree. There's a huge effort by the wealthy to keep the average person down, otherwise the rich don't make the money. It's super fucked up.
