I'm in a similar situation. Good job and relatively well-off parents that I have a great relationship with and can support me in case of emergency. I know a bunch of people on the other side, working 12 hour shifts in low-pay retail jobs while the store loudspeaker is droning on about wellness and breathing exercises and I realize I'd probably just fucking die if I were in their shoes. It's just mind-boggling.

I hate how shitty it makes me sound to say it but i feel the same way with regards to having to work retail for 12 hours a day. I truly think I'd have to up all my meds for that.

To anyone having to do that, I don't pity you I'm truly impressed at your fortitude and sheer will to persist

It is absolutely impressive and really shows how much of a joke the idea that capitalism rewards hard work is in reality.
