Fuck with enough people being able to afford life and find out. It's crazy to me that capitalism could have hummed along throwing some crumbs, and instead decided to motivate people against the system.

It's not quite the Streisand effect, but it looks conceptually similar. We're fucking sick of getting no COLA while the boss spends six weeks of the year vacationing in Europe. Oh, and your food stamps? Yeah, you don't need those. Section 8? Why are you so lazy? Just get a third job so that private equity gets your rent.

The system is broken beyond repair.

What? I have literally never seen someone complain about this.

Well your experience is not representative of the whole
