I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.I'm tired of the corporate media NEVER talking about the issues that matter to me.I'm tired of politicians NEVER talking about the issues that are important to me.

@havoc I'm pretty poor, and at an age where in a few years I would be able to retire with a government pension in many western democracies. But instead I have to go to work ruining my body. I just got done soaking both hands in ice water to bring the inflammation down.Every western democracy has a proper health care system except for us. I want it talked about every day. But the corporate media and the corporate parties will never do it.There is little for me to live for in this country.

@Ricardus that was a powerful answer. Thank you.I think we need to fix retirement and healthcare as well. We all got screwed out of pensions for the mighty 401k, which isn’t (usually) enough to live on. Healthcare is absurd - 2x global average price for worse outcomes.I want these items fixed too.

@havoc My dad was almost robbed of his pension. They made him work to 72 or else they weren't going to give it to him. This of course meant that he couldn't enjoy those other 6 years traveling with my mom and doing the things retired people are supposed to do.
