MY NAME IS

Millennial here. I have had several unaddressed health issues for at least 5 years. I can’t afford to go through another diagnosis/ treatment process because I’m still recovering, financially, from the unrelated health issues I had diagnosed and partially fixed with surgery a few years ago. I also haven’t seen a dentist in at least 8 years. I work way too much and I’m barely keeping my head above water despite doing everything right and living frugally. I’m hoping whatever is going on with me isn’t something terminal, and that I can last long enough to move to a country that supports its people. The US sure as shit isn’t it.

As an American, so do I. Unfortunately, a lot of people are deciding it’s not worth it. The good thing is, the more skilled labor that leaves the US, the less GDP the US will have in the long run. In other words, skilled labor leaving is a good way to speedrun the collapse of a shitty empire.

Yeah! Also, the various voter suppression tactics, gerrymandering, two party system, majority of elected politicians being in the pocket of moneyed interests, working class people being too overworked to want to bother with interacting with a system that consistently does very little for them… I mean, I vote in every local/national election, even when it’s just ballot measures, and I’m disappointed when people I know don’t/ can’t vote, but I also can understand why people with difficult situations don’t/ can’t vote.

My one exception is people that didn’t vote in the '24 presidential election to punish democratic leadership. Those people intentionally chose fascism and chaos, hand in hand with the maga crowd.

Bernie Sanders (AFAIK) has done two 12 hour sessions of this in the past week or so. It feels surreal to watch an American politician at his age show such an impressive feat of stamina and determination to fight for the American people. I’m eternally grateful for that man and his lifelong efforts in working for the interests of the working class.
