Nothing radicalizes you like seeing all your freelancer friends have to pay 30% taxes on their poverty wages. Everyone is out of work, under employed, underpaid if at all. There are no savings and no safety nets. Groceries cost $80 every trip. It feels like I'm bleeding to death.
Double frustrating that because we are not employing people no programs are aimed toward us for accounting or organizing our shit. We aren’t a profitable target even!
Right like, I see people being like well you're paying for social and health insurance when you have a job anyway. But like. There is built-in assistance that comes with a job that deducts taxes in that way. I am also not being paid like someone who is working as long hours as I do lmao.
