@sj_zero @Moon @magicalthinking @realcaseyrollins @romin if you ever want to learn what they are--try living for a month with a budget of 0$ for self-comfort. you will absolutely fail.

that's basically the issue with the lower poverty bracket. there are absolutely brutal demands on them from employment, and then the landlords take whats left, that the last of their income often gets eaten by consumables (whiskeys, cigs, etc) that make them want to die slightly less enough that they can show up to shitty job that just hasn't been outsourced yet.
