Thread 1: "I just got laid off because my job was 'essential' but not 'essential' enough"

User: @panickinginla

Just got a letter from HR saying my role was 'essential' but not 'essential' enough. What's the difference, you ask? Apparently, it's the difference between getting a severance package and eating ramen noodles for the next 6 months.

Thread 2: "My neighbor's kid is selling lemonade at the corner store... for 5 times the going rate"

User: @economypocalypse

Thread 3: "Just had to take out a second (third, fourth...?) mortgage on my house... to pay off credit card debt"

User: @creditcardchaos

I'm starting to think that 'debt' is just a fancy word for 'life'. Anyone else feel like they're just living in a never-ending cycle of interest and regret?
