The idea that 42% of that can't afford insurance and pay bills or whatever doesn't add up when you look at those statistics.
I make eight ****ing dollars an hour. That statistic does not include me. I can not afford an apartment, food, and, insurance. I am not an outlier. And if you could refrain from giving me disingenuous "advice" to distract from the point that would be great.
