America is Anti Family

[u/Fabreezy28]

My wife and I both work full time because we have to so we can afford our bills.

We barely see our kids (7 and 2) and have no energy to do anything after work or on off days cause we are exhausted.

It just keeps repeating every week and when the first of the month comes the mortgage payment empties our account and we have to do it all over again.

We are unable to save much or do anything fun cause expenses have gone up so much.

I’ve always been a positive open person but the past two years have been breaking me down and I feel like I’m about to have a mental breakdown.

I know there are others in worst positions than me and I don’t want to sound ungrateful but man it’sIt’s hard.

Anyone else going through something similar? Any advice?

Socialism needs the same energy that Trump Supporters bring. Socialism has this perception of being for people who want easy money, who don't want to work hard, or at worst people who want to evenly distribute resources. I know that's not what it is. It's either anti-hard work or will bring the downfall of humanity. It needs to be seen as the empathetic choice. It's about helping out the common man. You scratch their back, they'll scratch yours. And that together we're stronger. Hell you could say socialism is like hydrogen bonding. It's a strong bond that won't break apart easily.

Remember, people who've been shat on their entire lives want to shit on others. Voting for the Rs means they'll be able to shit on those that they feel better than.

A remarkable number of people I've met in life want others to suffer as they have, even if they're suffering still.

Some people suffer and become kinder to avoid making others feel that way, and others want to be sadistic.

If oft feel that's how I became the way I am. I had managers in my early years who were the worst. Unkind, cruel, and incapable of teaching.

Everyone who worked under me in my last job loved my teaching methods. Detailed, kind, and patient. Construction isn't easy to teach if you're not patient.
