This is it?

I have a job. I make $6 above minimum wage. Meanwhile, I’m sitting in my house that is just barely 55° because if I turn the heat on, I won’t be able to pay the power bill, and then I don’t get electricity at all. Three meals a day is a foreign concept to me. This is life in the richest country in the world? Seriously? This is as good as life gets here. I have it better than most people my age it seems, so I try not to complain, but this can’t possibly be the best possible situation.
