    Most of us want someone else to do what needs to be done because we’re too busy simply making ends meet. Sure, let me just call out of work to do some protesting, oh shit, now I can’t afford rent, or food, or my meds, or paying off my last Dr visit, etc.

        Would you like me to be homeless or in the hospital from not being able to afford my medications? You seem pretty willing to sacrifice people like me at the altar.

          I’ve been homeless. I’ve been unable to have medical treatment. How many root canals have you had at the dental school?

          Do I want to go back to that? No. I just don’t see another way.

          I’ll wait around until it hits you but the longer we wait. Enjoy every minute from this day forward cause you’re losing on the other end.

            I suppose I didn’t properly convey my situation. Being homeless, going without my medications, means I will die. Its not a “sacrifice current comfort for the future” thing for me. If things truly go as bad as you’re so sure they will, then it means I die anyway, so I’m not gonna just make it happen right away to satisfy a stranger on the internet that has a lot of opinions, but as far as I care, is doing just as much as the rest of us.

              Lets be clear here, it’s the current administration that doesn’t care if you die on the streets. Plenty of homeless are out there today with no one checking in on their medical conditions.

                  My point? I’m not your enemy. I don’t want you to be put out. I would support you as many others would. It’s the only way. We are not your enemy. You can trust the people fighting for you and people like you.
