I grew up under subsistence minimum. We grew our own food, and even then we often didn't have enough. Honestly, without free school lunches things would've likely looked way different. Growing up keenly aware of that sort of financial distress is fucking terrible, and I don't wish it on anyone.
I'm alright now, decently well paid, and I do, but it's still obvious how the money grubbing elite is trying to chip away at the rest of us bit by bit and it makes me so furious. There's no way in hell I'll ever own a home myself.
Family? Not in a million years. No child deserves to live in the world we've built. It's unethical.
