    I had to move to low-income housing because no job I’m able to get pays enough for a ‘real’ apartment. I can move to my hometown, but It’s the same thing there. I barely make enough to get by. Were it not for my wife also working, we’d both be homeless.

    Trust me. I’d love to move somewhere else, where a post-high school education wouldn’t make me more broke than I am, where good jobs grow on trees, and where housing is reasonably priced. But I can’t. So I Vite blue and get shit on for it here. But I do it anyway, because the asshole fascists that run this state sure as hell haven’t made my life any easier.

      Yeah, I get it. That’s why I suggested trying to work out a longer-term plan, but I understand that some people are just stuck. Plain and simple. The system is designed for it to be that way. I really hope safe corridors materialize when things start break down. It’s the rational and humane response in my opinion.

      There won’t be good jobs on trees, reasonable housing, etc., in other states but at least the working class wouldn’t be stuck as tools for the local fascists like they are now. It’s no coincidence the right of mobility has been scrapped.
