ancient roman artist 1: hey can i ask a question
ancient roman artist 2: yeah go ahead
ancient roman artist 1: so i’m making this figurine of hermes with a giant dick
ancient roman artist 2: nice
ancient roman artist 1: but i feel like it’s missing something in the phallus department
ancient roman artist 2: that’s easy, just give him a hat with some dicks on it
ancient roman artist 1: oh. how many dicks should i put on it
ancient roman artist 2: there is no limit to the creative process

No amount of cutting back on luxury spending or driving extra hours for Uber can change the fact that there is literally nowhere in the country where a minimum wage job can support a family, that good union jobs have been in decline for decades, or that housing costs have priced people out of their homes. Cutting coupons, commuting by bike, and enjoying outdoor activities can’t really fix that.
So, instead of telling poor people what they should do to work around a system that’s leaving more and more people behind every year, we need to consider how the system can bend and change to better fit the needs of all people.
