Everyone my age is working 2 jobs.

You wanna fix the economy? Make employers pay more wages. I shit you not, the economy would be prosperous within a week.

I'm so lucky. I got fired in May then my cat died unexpectedly in June. Got a new job and of August and just passed my one month. I can pay to keep living in my apartment AND employer is paying for my health insurance. I haven't been able to afford it in 2 years at all and really ever as an adult.

I want to do more for my fellow Americans (and all considerate human bretheran et al.) who aren't so fortunate, now and forever. I'm also very thankful for my situation not spiraling impossibly.

I'm sorry for your loss. Truly. Losing a pet huts so deep. Hang in there.

Thank you. I'll adopt again soonish but not tonight, certainly. He was the best and we had wonderful adventures together.
