Covid showed many people it didn't have to be this way. The ppp loans that were appropriately used to pay staff that had to quarantine. (Lots of them were abused.) The extended unemployment benefits, some states expanded Medicaid, the roll out of work from home on a vast scale. I feel you though. I'm 45, and as a 20 year old it was clear the system was rigged.
