Are you sure we don’t share DNA?

Same things happened to me, except they are taking things away. STUPID federal government is going to stop funding the ACP which I and millions of others participate in to make it “affordable”. They want everyone to go online for everything yet will make it harder for people not rolling in dough. Also my landline service may go away. The phone company filed an application with the utilities commission. It may not get approved but if it does no more landline. It is way more durable and reliable than my cell phone. No need to worry about the battery draining so fast or not enough bars. I get poor reception in my apartment. By contrast, my landline ALWAYS works and has a strong clear connection.

I feel I’m being gaslit by the media. Things are supposed to be so rosy such as a “strong” economy. Well I’m 62 and the kind of “jobs” out there are too physically taxing for me. My rent also went up again after a long break due to Covid. So working could help if they didn’t require being on my feet and having volatile hours. And don’t get me started on AI and how it’s doing things people used to do!

I’m glad I decided to follow your posts on this thread. We have similar experiences and if not for this site I’d think I was losing my mind.

I snort when they say things are good. Not for me, not for years and years. If they were really good then EVERYONE should benefit and therefore not find increases in price on things to be a hardship.
