Everyone is broke now

[Cornfed]

It seems to me that pretty much everyone in society is now cash poor, apart from a few state supported professionals like doctors, pigs etc. and even their incomes compared to costs are taking a hit. I meet quite a few people on welfare. There are some trends that I have never seen before. For example, there are lots of attractive young females without children on welfare now, and some of them have been on welfare for years. That never used to be the case. They always used to be able to get a job or marry a tradesman or something. Then there are people aged around 50 who have worked all their lives, been able to take getting jobs for granted, but are then ending up destitute and on welfare. It used to be that you were either in or out of the job market, but not any more. At the supermarket I see working people (you can tell) who have no money in their bank accounts who have to buy food with credit cards or EBT cards. Pretty much everyone is being drained by the system now. Even most corporate whores are paid relative peanuts compared with just a few years ago. How bad do things have to get before people going to wake up to what is happening?

Precisely as planned.
