Sad read. Happy Thurday: https://medium.com/@oliviamignosa/suicide-by-capitalism-58f7d77320e2
This doesn’t even begin to touch on Phil’s anxieties about his $80,000 in medical debt because of an emergency gallbladder removal operation he had in 2018, and consistent letters from the IRS claiming that he owed almost $2000 in back taxes because he didn’t pay the right amount for his Connector Care Insurance (which for those who don’t know is Romneycare- the model for Obamacare- which is basically just a handout to insurance companies). Why do we live in a system where a 28 year old bartender, with no credit card debt, no property to his name, no secret holdings, feels that his chance at a successful life is over because of situations completely out of his control?
