Also I'm medically not doing well but I dont make enough money to qualify for financial help with health insurance
Wait until you read about how shitty our tax law is for people spending most of their money on HC costs. sigh
My wages did go up a little, but not enough to help me out of the hole I'm in with everything else going up (rent, groceries, etc.). Gas prices have gone down, but not by a lot, at least not for me in California. Why are prices still at like $4.30/gallon when we're pumping more than ever out of the ground and plenty of supply? Why didn't it go back down to like $3.50? Is this just our new baseline? Why?
Everything is like that. I feel like I'll just end up dying of poverty if we don't actually gain some consumer protections to limit how much companies to upcharge on literally everything, and ban companies or internationals from buying up properties. At this rate, I feel like I'll struggle this hard forever and never be able to buy a house unless I move somewhere super shitty without actual rights for women.
prices went up, my wages didnt.
