This article stressed the hell out of me over the weekend, but what it’s saying is important to know. We’ve reached the point where about half of Americans can’t afford the basics. At least not all at the same time. You know, food, healthcare, shelter, those sorts of things. Just the stuff we need to live.

I’m still chewing on what I think about this. Beyond that we should at least tax the shit out of the rich, destroy capitalism, and/or work outside the system to bring about change. Because our system clearly isn’t working. But more thoughts on that after I’ve actually properly considered it.
For now, please just go read the article.
