I'm sorry, I don't feel that sorry for you given your "woe is me" diatribe.
Your boast of having $225,000 was just that--a boast--and you certainly set
me (and others) up to feel some sympathy for you given your miserable
circumstances.

But really ... a pretty transparent attempt at emotional manipulation.

And as far as your minimum wage blues, well ... that is what your
"non-violent" and noble government is dedicated to preserving: a
marginalized and perpetual underclass of citizenry.  So ... you can sit
passively on the sidelines and criticize the direct action of others while
you boast about your "potential" financial wealth if and when you become a
vegetable.  (Actually, I haven't known anyone who after becoming a vegetable
later enjoyed their new-found insurance wealth but perhaps you'll be the
first.)

Or you can stay on the list, learn a few things from others who have
something intelligent to say, and maybe, just maybe, you'll change your mind
about a few things.
