Choice always exists but change is scary.
Also, the grass isn't always greener on the other side... sometimes it's just spray painted. Then you get over there and its just as bad if not worse.
And sometimes it's one of the most amazing things that you can actually do
And that's the problem you never know. But you can always change again.
You’re implying that there is always employment choice which is untrue. I guess you could choose to be unhoused without medical care and food.
So, first, food is plentiful. No one starves in the usa. Not even the homeless.
Being homeless was much better than working at, say, Burger King or Walmart. At least it was for me.
Please read the above comment. Let’s not lose track of the fact that anyone who needs a salary to support themselves is working class. The main point is mobilize against the billionaires. Anything else is wasted time.
Not in this economy
