Removing that is pretty sick, but the line that got me was:

I used to be a waitress and make great tips and travel and live my life without worrying. This year changed everything.

A kid who was never taught the value of money, never wanted for anything and so never saw the need to save. Gurantee you there are thousands of people in this position, suddenly the kids are having to grow up very, very quick.

I never thought I'd see the day where fucking Twitch streamers had a more stable 'job' than productive people.

I've been poor, scrounging, and hording all my life because I've normally had almost nothing except disaster. ... This year had very little effect on my. I actually got a job in a place that was considered "essential" so I didn't even lose out on work. However, I am surrounded by middle-class people who, frankly, seem alien to me.

They have repeatedly told me that I'm a crazy person for taking free food home from work because it was "left out" (for about 6 hours), and that there wasn't going to be a recession, and that buying gold/silver/platinum is ridiculous and an unwise investment.

As a great philosopher once said: FUCKYOUIWASRIGHT

These people are still living their lives comfortably, but I've seen this all back in 2008. The middle class came crashing down to my level. NPR did news stories about middle class people having to... live like me. I was nearly totally uneffected by the 2008 crash too.

These people have no idea what's about to happen to them, despite my hysterical ramblings. I definitely look like the guy who's screaming about the sky falling to them. They just want to keep keepin' on the way things have been. But they are finally getting unnerved about the debt being over 100% of the GDP.

My poor friends are half tempted to do the same thing, because they don't know what's going on, and they're just trying to get by and read manga. But they are taking me more seriously now because I won't stop giving them silver coins and telling them not to sell them. They're starting to realize that I'm deadly serious, and if Gizortnik looks like he's doing something insane, he might just be doing it for a good reason. He's either an idiot and you'll know immediately, or he's right and you should be concerned.

The best tasting food on the planet is literally anything, when starving

The second best food is "shit I didn't have to make or pay for". If I worked at your place, I'd wrestle you for it

Except I'm a cripple now, so that'd be poor sportsmanship on your part to agree. Just gimme the shit already!
