This, all day long... 9-5 is just the first job of the day if we're lucky.

Then there's the 7 to 2am second job, the 5 to 7 on Saturdays and Every Other Sunday.

Just to not actually have health insurance which is accepted at anything but the worst health care facilities in the region, with a 6 month waitlist for basic check-ups and a 60% fails or cancel for those appointments and reschedule 3 or more months away.

We are all ONE semi-serious illness or injury away from living out of a shopping cart under an overpass.

Money isn't the cure to ALL problems, but if the only problems you have left are the ones that cannot be solved by money, quit whining about being luckier than practically and statistically EVERYONE else. It is unbecoming and makes you look the fool.

Exactly where is this dystopia you speak of? It certainly isn't the case where I live right now (in the U.S.)
