fuck you ow.

we have a system put in place, to help individuals who are in a financial crisis - to relieve them of the burden that society places on us to find enough money to survive. It's nearly impossible to find a decent place to live for an affordable price, and because of this we are left to live in the "slums" of this city. On top of that, it robs us of the benefits like being able to afford basic health care (including oral health!) Unless you have thousands of dollars to go to University and get a degree, you are rendered unable to find a job in this city that pays you enough to hold your own. To add to it, the programs we do have in place to relieve said stresses holds such power and domineering strength over you it leaves you unable to breathe. Regardless of that, the basic things we need in life (like dentistry, medications, visual health...) should be accessible to everyone - not just those who are able to attain insurance through their jobs. It's a vicious cycle, and I'm very bitter that I am stuck in the middle of it, unable to move or breath. Or eat, because my mouth is so bloody swollen it hurts to move.

  1. Come live in France! If I'm proud of one thing here, it's our health system.
