    I can’t miss work to protest the federal government.

    I get that disruption is important, but I need little things like food and a roof, and I have to work to secure those things no matter how much I hate the administration.

      USAmericans really are indifferent huh?

      Yeah this was a bit harsh i admit. The fact that it has gotten to the point where so many people are actually just too poor to take the time to protest is a whole level of craziness by itself.

      Still i think they wont have a choice other than overthrowing their government this time. Unless they somehow reign in their leadership they wont stay “just” poor they will struggle to survive at all. If things continue at the current pace the US will have tens of millions of additonal jobless and homeless people in a few months. Nevermind the complete infrastructure collapse due to lay offs in critical public sectors and budget cuts.
