"It's 2025 and the American middle class is dead. Completely gone. And we're acting like this is fine. The country we grew up believing in doesn't exist anymore. The promise that hard work gets rewarded? That's over. Millions of Americans are living in conditions that would make third-world countries feel sorry for us.
The average person has been completely abandoned. Corporate overlords have squeezed every drop of wealth out of the working class and now demand we thank them for it. You're expected to sacrifice your entire existence - 70, 80 hours a week - just to barely survive.
This isn't politics. This is economic warfare. The numbers are depressing and the people running this show are counting on us being too exhausted to fight back.
A basic one-bedroom apartment for $1,800 requires $64,800 annual income to qualify. 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Median household income is $70,000, but after taxes and necessities, people are drowning. We've created a system where most Americans can't afford basic shelter.
When people can't afford traditional housing, where do they go? The answer should terrify you.
Americans paying to live in storage units with no running water, no proper ventilation, no emergency exits, risking their lives because the alternative is homelessness.
And here's the thing - we're not just becoming a third-world country. We're becoming worse than one. At least in developing nations, people have communities, they have extended families, they have social structures. Here? You're on your own. You work 80 hours a week and die alone.
