Even with a working spouse, one income isn't enough anymore. I really don't know what people are supposed to do. Every industry except healthcare has been bleeding for months

    Healthcare has also been bleeding. My local news has run multiple stories over the past few months of massive hospital layoffs. No more Medicaid revenue means no ability to pay staff that provide those services.

    The city next to mine had its entire hospital network shut down, just because some vulture capitalists saw that the price was less than the value of the real estate it owned. They bought the hospital network, spun off the real estate as a separate venture that then rented the properties to the hospitals, which bankrupted the hospitals leading to their closure.

    This is why the corporate world, billionaires++, and their lackey governments hate Cuba, Venezuela and any other sovereign nation that tries to better provide for all their people. That and the resources for which they demand fair recompense, or refuse to sell if needed at home.
