This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sorry but I'm not missing rent, going further into debt, or becoming homeless because I'm sick. My landlord doesn't give a shit if I'm sick and neither does the electric company or my car insurance company. I wanna be a decent person and not get other people sick, but I'm not gonna risk losing everything because I can't work. It's the system that's fucked, not the people. They would love to stay home but they can't.

I hate to be the one to say it, but it is the people. They're not willing to band together to fix the system. They (we) can have+eat our cake, but they just can't fucking agree, for not even a day.
