    The difference is a medical professional likely has more money to get by with as they make a career change, an underpaid delivery driver loses their job, they can be out on the streets with no shelter, food, or clean water in just a few weeks.

    Years ago I received a promotion after just a month of starting and one dude started spreading rumors about me to get me fired, claiming he was more deserving of the position since he had been there longer. But he was only there because they were so short staffed that even someone such as himself who’d do a day’s worth of work over the course of a week couldn’t be fired without screwing up everybody else’s schedules. I referred some friends and once they were hired he was out the door. Hit me up on LinkedIn about a month later asking for a reference. There are some serious clowns out there.


  • Been unemployed and in tremendous pain for several months, lost my insurance, can’t afford my meds, medical marijuana card expired so my insomnia and sleep paralysis are back, as are all my neurological ailments like waking up with no feeling in my legs and an intense crawling tingle in my spine. That all pales in comparison to the shitstorm in my brain. I just want to sleep but at this point it’s worse than being sleep deprived. Honestly considering crawling out to the woods and feeding myself to the local bears


  • I pulled my bed out to grab something that fell behind, forgot to push it back, turned off my light and went to lay down. Stubbed my pinky toe into the leg of the bed frame so hard that I broke two metatarsal. I already had arthritis and tendonitis along with an as of yet diagnosed neurological condition. It ended my welding career and made most general labor positions impossible, and with no office or administrative experience, I’m at a tremendous loss and now navigating the nightmare that is qualifying for disability assistance in the US with no insurance and no money for a doctor to get the proper medical records.

    Geez I don’t know, maybe it’s because tobacco is wildly more toxic and carcinogenic. Maybe it’s because tobacco causes hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. Or perhaps it’s because tobacco is loaded with thousands of equally as toxic additives. Just spit balling here.
