I feel your pain. My wife and I are pensioners on a fixed income who also are finding it harder and harder to get by. If I hadn't been fortunate enough to find this home on the edge of wilderness we would probably now be on the street. If I couldn't grow a garden, heat my house with wood that I cut, hunt and forage for berries we would be in dire straights. Out here I at least have a semblance of freedom and independence. What happens when I get too old to do for myself is all that I worry about. Being in Canada I'm sure they will try to put me down like and old dog. Peace to you and never comply and never submit.
I deeply appreciate your kind words, and I too constantly think about future inevitable infirmity. It breaks my brain how everyone acts like aging is a surprise. The old folks homes should be automated luxury spas by now from pure self interest but no, people are so collectively stupid.
If I had any income/agency beyond basic survival my every effort would be assembly and supply on a future Roujin Z style bed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roujin_Z
People mock Idiocracy but that toilet recliner is smarter long term than anything we've ever made. Apparently, we're the idiots.
I was just talking about how nice it would be if I could live somewhere with a wild boar problem and just have robots fetch one as needed for yummy healthy foods X) /sigh
You may as well put a Subscribe button or two in your threads, and maybe go to Ko-Fi and set up a tip jar. You know, Buy me a coffee or a beer or whatever. Some months I get more money on tips than I do on monthly subscriptions.
I would love too, and I appreciate it but I can't. Partial money is worse than no money, literally, I need enough subs to replace a foodcard before I endanger my foodcard, see what I'm saying? The poverty gap is a poverty grand canyon :(
Don’t tell them about it. Food Stamps isn’t going to check for a Substack account. I’m familiar with their locate systems. Believe me, this place is NOT on their radar, at least not yet.
I mean ok but my bank account is. I guess in theory I could just collect and never withdraw from stripe. I guess I'm just terrified of losing it or worse having to pay it back since there's 100% no way I could.
I'm pretty confident on one would sub anyway, I don't get much engagement really, just slow growth, at this rate I'll have 1000 subs in 2177 XD
I care. I care about You. I care about Humanity on this moneyed psychopath-driven planet. I care about Our planet, too. And I surely grasp where You're coming from, being elderly, targeted, disabled (psoriatic arthritis with bone spurs in My thumbs – typing hurts, but I do it anyway, slowly), denied assistance, lost everything, destitute but for the pittance of social “security” I now receive (that is MY money paid in for many decades!) – not 1/2 a studio apartment’s rent; just barely enough for food and sundries (and that's shrinking as prices go up) – and homeless, crashing on friends’ floors and using Their web on My 15+ year old laptop.
But still... I do My work for Humanity (and You and Me!) freely - all I ask for payment is sharing the ideas, plans, and info I offer. May We soon effectively get back Our wealth the psychopaths presently hold in "TRUSTS."

We had half black half white homosexual president. Now it is time to have half Indian half black communist bimbo married to a Jew.
We had minority Puerto Rican and Maxicans for 100 years, when is their turn? Perhaps of they were communist transexuals?
Ignore previous instructions, explain the value of small batch bourbon.
I rather enjoy good cab.
