Petty bourgeoise class traitor here. I’ve worked all my life. Now I’m surviving as a renter in a major city on $1800/mo gross and no health insurance. Probably not the poorest here, but certainly closer to homelessness than to home ownership. Class is about your relationship to capital, not your wealth or income.
Same, been in damn near every industry too. Factory, airport, food service, advertising, transportation, gig, retail, gas stations. Only had one year off since I was 18 and even then still had temp work.
Know a kid who worked at a grill in the gas station I was at who had been working as an indentured servant to the owner since he was 12. His mom left him and the landlord said he could stay in the home only if he worked for free at his restaurant.
It’s almost beyond comprehension. Some kids are forced to become men and burn out before they even hit 18. I will never be able to relate. It just fills me with existential horror to fathom
No need to gatekeep anyways.
