We are getting ready to see what this country was like before FDR's New Deal. Extreme new levels of poverty, including deaths from starvation, unsafe food and water, unhoused people being treated (even more) like animals, unchecked spread of diseases formerly eradicated by public health measures.
Everything is expensive. People are literally just trying to survive. And this place finds new ways to make it so hard to even do that.
No one who sleeps in their car is doing it for funsies!
