Here is the problem with that; if you need $4000.00 a month to pay all your expenses, and the
low paying job "only gets you $1000.00 a month, you simply cannot afford to work at the low paying job.
Unless you are OK with living in your car down by the river.

there's much truth in that Card - but - there are also a HELL of a lot of people who simply REFUSE to live within their harvest - who do not understand the difference between a WANT and a NEED.

there was a very nice lady that worked for us. single no kids. every morning she came to work with a double caramel machhi what ever; got her nails done every week; ate lunch out every day instead of bring it herself; drove a better car than I did . . .

this lady didn't need a raise - she needed a REALISTIC LIFESTYLE and someone to teach her the difference between a WANT and a NEED

Reduce the $4,000.

$15 x 40 X 4.33 = $2,600 + the knowledge that one is not expecting somebody who is also struggling - to carry them.

No one is carrying anybody.
Anyone who has paid into the system is simply getting their own money back when they need it.

We have four generations living frugally in a communal network. This protects the children and the elderly, and everyone else works full time. I don't see how we can manage any other way. It takes patience and good manners to make it work. We've been doing this for more than a hundred years.

Dang, if only there was a constant source of low-skilled, undocumented workers available. It would be such a coincidence, and at the same time underscore the talking point about there being jobs Americans turn their noses up at.
Hmmm.

How to create a great underclass lower than the current one....

Which is the best way to grow the world's biggest Multi-Level Marketing Program, where the few on the top get everything and the people under them get churned and burned.

I used to have $5000/month in monthly outflow.

Now
I have about $700 in monthly outflow - and that includes property tax and homeowners insurance.

I do not live in a van by the river eating government cheese

You pay home owners insurance?

You must be rich. :D

I agree everyone is different but one fact exists for all of us. If you cannot increase income to cover expenses, you must lower living situation to fit income. If you do not, then eventually you will lose what you have anyway. Not a pleasant reality, but we do live in a real world where sh-- happens. I've lived through several downturns and none were pleasant but adapted and survived.

Thus, the growing homeless situation.
Tent living is fiscally cheap. You just pay in other ways.

They are losing control. Too many questions and the kids are getting rowdy. Time to do something big to lock everyone down and make them more dependent.

How long till it happens?
I think several things have thrown sand into the Marxist gears.

1. The economy as poor as it was due to Covid, is proving more resilient than any Dem expected.
2. The rise of Right Wing Media is filling minds full of right wing thoughts.
3. Right wing thoughts are providing push-back in Congress against the agenda.
4. Mistakes by the Biden Admin in execution are weighing heavy on the Agenda namely:
a. FBI raid on Alaska Family
b. Continued holding of 1/6 rioters without charges
c. Information escaping from the southern border on the disaster this has turned into (i.e. 5 children, etc.)
d. Sicknic revelations/critique of information arising from 1/6.
e. Discoveries of "China Influence" in the Biden Admin.
f. The rise of the Hard Drive from Hell.
g. The Hunter Biden Gun
h. Realization generally of the weaponization of Federal Agencies (including the FBI, DOJ, CIA, EPA)
5. The continued failure of the Covid Narrative/Vaccine, dropping death rates.
6. The continuation of the "Stolen Election" being supported by what information DOES leak out.

Bannon is now adopting a "Biden Admin now on borrowed time" descriptive for Pandemic War Room. This alone is telling.

As to another lock-down, I'm thinking not.

Rather, China will invade Taiwan, and Joe will send the troops in a defensive move to "encircle" the burgeoning CCP - no war per se, but rather just "encirclement" while ceding Taiwan - this to keep the domestic political pot boiling and divert attention from the Biden Administration mis-management of the nation. MEEDIA will repeat the "China is a threat" meme endlessly.

But there will be no changes to Chinese Trade Partner Status, levels of consumer goods imports, grain sales to China, or sales of fuel - American fuel.

China "OWNS" Joe Biden like I am owned by Owner. The encirclement will be designed as "American Kabuki theater." Everyone puts on their "aggressive" mask and waves their weapons around. Meanwhile China gets Taiwan without firing a shot, and Biden continues to be "post turtle" of the American Presidency and leader of China's "controlled opposition."
