      Not to mention protesting likely means becoming homeless. It means losing insurance, it means losing you car insurance and likely paying a hefty premium when you can get it again. It means losing access to food, Healthcare. It means risking being barred from future employment.

      So let’s vote? Well turns out your district is shaped like a contorted snake, and unless you convince 60% of people who will vote for any loony who hates the same people they do, to help their neighbor for once, well you’re SOL.

        Leaving your job doesn’t automatically mean becoming homeless and starving. That is a pretty extreme and unrealistic stance.

          When 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck (by design) it really does.

          How do you propose they make rent the next month with no money?

              Did you maybe not see the context of my comment?

              We’re talking about whether or not it’s feasible for your average American to quit their job in protest in order to secure workers rights (of which a social security net is part) and your contribution is that they can quit their job in protest to get things like a social security net, by already having a social security net?

              Very helpful, thank you

          No it pretty much does, I’m lucky I’m on disability. Cuz in this one horse town, you can go months or years between jobs. I may be getting paid in chump change and pizza parties…

          But at least I can eat pizza…

      Too many of us thought of ourselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

      I did when I was a teenager, it seems most of our parents never grew out of being teenagers.

        Don’t know why that was in past tense. This is still such a massive issue in American society.
