    Things have gotten Better during the Pandemic due to eviction protections and the lifeline of the $600 checks. Those people were vulnerable pre-pandemic, and they remain a small minority. The idea that material conditions have actually gotten worse is a massive blind spot on the Left and just this insane delusion that gets repeated like a mantra with no real basis

      Dude. Shut the fuck up. I lost my job and had to move back with my parents, a privilege which a LOT of people in my situation DO NOT HAVE. Everyone I knew from work who I still keep up with is struggling in some way because of this too.

      Please for the love of god eat a massive chode

            $600 a week plus unemployment means you either made well over $60k a year if losing your job meant you had to move back home, or you made less than that and actually got a bonus.

            What did you do with your $15,000?
