    But you can definitely achieve these things. I’m not rich nor do I hold a college degree and I do it. I dislike my job as much as the next person but this is the world we live in. Would you rather 1984?

      If those were the only two options, obviously not. But I think you know damn well that’s not reality.

          Raising minimum wage or putting a social safety net in place so we have no working homeless or unfed children.

            I don’t disagree but this is a band-aid. I am not sure that there is a political or economic philosophy in place today (at least in the US) prepared or willing to deal with homeless or hunger properly. We get a lot of politispeak about doing this or that that effectively translates to nothing.
