      The strange thing is that is has been, for some of us, for a while now. The screws have been tightening my whole life and people don’t realize how close to destitution they are until it hits them. It’s like the poverty version of “If my neighbor loses their job it’s a recession, if I lose my job it’s a depression.”

        “If my neighbor loses their job it’s a recession, if I lose my job it’s a depression.”

        True AF. Cannot stand when people calling the shit “recessions”. The epitome of denial.
