    Rent is outrageous and getting worse every year. The dream of owning a home is dead for my generation (xennials) and newer. Utilities and other basic costs of living have skyrocketed and continue to get worse. The environment is starting to fall apart and insurance companies are starting to drop people, refuse coverage, and skyrocket rates when it IS available. Fascists continue to dismantle any and all social safety nets while pushing tax burdens onto lower income households, cutting their own tax responsibilities, and also creating inventive ways to loot public coffers.

    Cancelling a little bit of student debt (without ever solving the core problem, btw) isn’t “turning around” - it’s barely a wiggle on the steering wheel. We’re all screwed and nobody is doing anything about it.
