“Just go get a job.”

Even with my salary, it was almost impossible to afford basic necessities while still having somewhat of a social life without going into debt.

The cost of living is skyrocketing and wages aren’t keeping up. A lot of people are stuck with predatory student loans that will take decades to pay off for a useless degree. The wealth gap is rapidly increasing with no signs of slowing down.
