I went from making $125K in 2012 to making less than $10K from 2014 through 2016. It was not on purpose. I was laid off and like many workers over the age of 50 good luck getting re-employed again in a decent job, despite the experience and pedigree degree (that I have).

I know many, many more like me. Many of us are killing ourselves left to either suicide or homelessness. I very near that stage but keep fighting.

Where are our leaders on this issue? Too busy worrying about what bathroom a transgenered person wants to use of obsessing over “fake news” which is really “news for the stupid.”
