More like the Anti-Labour minister.

You can't get educated without going into crippling debt.
You can't get ahead without some asshole reaching into your pocket.
People have had enough, and quite frankly, I've reached my breaking point.
This world isn't built for workers. It's built for billionaires and corporations.

Politicians and media wonder why people are so angry and frustrated.
Why do they turn to extremism?
It's because we get fucked by corporations and you do nothing.
We get fucked by scam calls, and they do nothing.
We get fucked by our local governments and complain about it and get no response.

Never-ending scam calls on your phone.
Does our federal government do anything about that? Nope.
A guy on YouTube does more to tackle the problem than the people we pay to do it.

Airlines charge extra for the "privilege" of refunding a plane ticket.
If you don't pay it doesn't matter if it's a month away, two weeks away.
Your schedule unexpectedly changes or you make a mistake, screw you buy another ticket.

They reach into our pockets and call it efficiency.
It's a nice little buzzword to cover how politicians serve their bottom lines, not their constituents.

I hope future me is doing better than present me.
I guess that's the eternal problem; I send my hope into the future. Hope is not an inevitable sunrise. It's a tree I must plant and nourish in my everyday moments.

If society crumbles to the point where guns become a necessary part of living.
I would no longer find it necessary to continue living.

My ability to raw dog reality has ended after 44 years.
I have recently begun taking anti-anxiety medication after a year of trying to handle it on my own.

"We have it in our power to begin the world over again."
Thomas Paine.

Something I learned in my forties, I have anxiety.
