"You were supposed to be too shackled by the minimum wage jobs we allow you to have two of and kept fearful of loosing your worthless health insurance to run around and protest when we abuse you some more, damnit! Who allowed you out?"

On god, US is such a dystopia I always remain flabbergasted when people talk about the american dream. My third world country (Romania) is a shithole but at least I can hope to pay for serious medical illnesses if I go jobless.

Eh, more or less. I’ll probably be able to afford one in about a year (with a loan ofc), but I make almost double the median salary.
