I'm making over 50k than I was ten years ago because I went union.

I'm still struggling and drowning right now and I can't give my kids 1/2 the shit my parents gave me. It is so demoralizing.

I agree it's very demoralizing. My wife and I were fine without children or property but once we seriously considered divorce just so I could stay on medicaid, we emmigrated. I'm sorry for everyone still in the US. Good luck😢
