If having food in the fridge, computer running, A/C blowing, a car full of gas, and the ability to come and go as you please is your precipice, you are in for a rough ride.
There are already people who don't have those things in my family. It is their breaking point. How far up the food chain is enough then? Does it have to reach the above average income Americans before it becomes important enough to do something? Or are our average Americans losing their livelihoods enough? Maybe we just wait until the measurably wealthy start losing the vacation homes. We're breaking now. Majority of people have lost something, or know individuals who have lost. I can't afford to take care of my entire family without losing out myself. And with today's announcements, I doubt I'll have a job after oct 31.
Your family doesn't have food, electricity, or gas?
Two brothers have lost their jobs. I send money to them to help, but they're lining up for free food from food banks. Both have lost their homes, and at least one is now riding a bicycle. So yeah, they are without. On is 59, the other is 60. So finding gainful employment is currently not an option. With today's announcements, they have even less opportunities.
