    How are people surviving at all right now? Between this and the price of EVERYTHING going up, companies are still raising prices and adding premium features while wage raises are at a standstill. The people who are lucky enough to be in unions are striking and the people who aren’t in unions are getting desperate.

      Surviving by clinging to a job I don’t like, and taking lots of trips. Just spent 3 weeks in Europe and everything here is so much cheaper, their nice hotels are the price of our cheap ones. It’s crazy.

      In any other economy I would have quit to start my own business.
