    I’m sorry, I think about how I am lucky on a global scale, but on a local scale I was just one bad day away from being broke and I just had that day. So it sucks, I hone my skills every day, game dev every night, study IT skills for my main job, its just not fast enough to put me in a house, or feel like I’m at least treading water instead of swapping bills around every month. Thank you for the discussion and the question. But my issue with how we live is random people like my boss, who consistently tells me to end India’s scam attempts, decides my salary. If he doesn’t know I can’t combat the entire nation of India for under 60k a year, why does he get to say how much I’m worth? The system rewards people who already have money, thats it. Everyone else can subsist off of goodwill and prayers. These systems we made are a feedback loop to return wealth to the wealthy and keep it there.
