When there are necessities which are accessible to everyone else besides him he gets pissed off If he doesn't have insurance to cover dental care and he needs a root canal, does he have to wait until it becomes a medical requirement, when the infection might seep into his brain and kill him, must he wait for that for the insurance to cover it And how long does he have to suffer before that happens It's ok, he has no money to buy food anyway Now that he has starved long enough he's finally willing to swallow his pride but they won't give him food stamps because he makes too much money on his unemployment benefits They don't take into consideration the debt he has when each month he pays out more than he brings in on rent and student loans Because he was so fucking stupid believing that when he got his Master's degree he would get a good job but he was better off working as a bagger at the grocery store And so when he sees people on television spend $50,000 on a novelty item merchandise that means nothing to them essentially a part of him dies inside thinking, that's just a fucking trinket But that $50,000 would pay all his debt get him back on his feet and spare him from homelessness which is the path he is on Hopefully they won't reposses his car because that will one day soon be his home
Poor guy.
Definitely, it’s a true story.
How sad…
Yes it is, thank you. It’s a true story.
Blunt and gruesome, Sage Doyle, and mostly likely too often true.
Yes it is, and this one is a true story. I know it’s not the only story out there like this too.
Soon a Masters won’t be enough, you’d need to be sub specialized or obtain a PhD..and THEN..that won’t be enough either….unless we see a different type of humanity that breaks away from the materialism and go back to what the reality is…we are spiritual beings that can create whatever we want…put here because we want to learn lessons…
On another note…I’ve always wondered why HR don’t take into consideration experience. In Malaysia, they would prefer you to have the paper degree instead of the experience..which I feel is more important. (unless of course you are a family member of one of the politicians….then a O level equivalent will do :P)
It’s so true, and depends on the field too. Unfortunately, this man is a teacher, which makes it sadder.
My! This is really sad.
Thank you, yes it is, especially since it is a true story, very sad.
That is so sad.
Thank you, a sad and true story.
A great perspective through which to view “first world” problems. Definitely leaves me feeling blessed to have a home and food.
Definitely, thank you, and this is true, and unfortunately not as uncommon as people think.
It is easy enough to believe that this is a true story and that makes it even sadder. I can literally feel his pain and desperation. I’m not unemployed, but even so, working 42 hrs a week is still not good enough in order to eat and pay the bills- month to month trying to stop the foreclosures. You did a great job on depicting the anguish of it all.
Yes it’s amazing how many people are truly struggling, and very sad. Thank you for the compliment too. And I hope that your situation improves, because that’s rough, any prospects for an easier time ahead for you?
The compliment was well warranted ;) And as for things getting easier in the future- it’s probably unlikely, however if anything ever came easy for me I’d most likely die due to shock. :D But at this moment…right now, I’m okay. And that’s good enough and better than some.
Aw, I wish I was a billionaire so I could help people, I really do. I’d send you money so things would be easier.
