Isn’t that the point of our current system? If everyone is too worried about surviving, they don’t have time to hold the ‘ruling’ class too account. Can’t take time off to protest, if you do it’s now illegal, can’t get work with a criminal record. The only real difference to slavery for a lot of people, is that sometimes they have choice in their masters.
I take a baseline 4 pain pills a day, unless I have a really bad day and then I just take one knock out pill. Sertraline, Magnesium, vitamin d, and calcium most days. Every 12 months I can have a minor surgical procedure to burn out nerves in my neck and that reduces my need for pain meds, will likely start needing this on my lower back soon. Currently I’m 46, trying to hold off disc replacement or fusion until I’m 65 at least. When I’m really old, I will likely move to an oxycodone patch.
