Listen to Kenny... it’s not always rainbows and sunshine. Everyone is fighting their own battles, I have voted in every election since 1996 just after turning 18. Even when I didn’t like Kerry, I still voted for him, because I understood what it could mean for me if I didn’t...

In 2008, I was laid off twice, and the second time was 5 days before Christmas. I was scared and felt like a failure. I know what it’s like living in Chicago, on a new flight attendants salary, living off plane pretzels 🥨 and ramen from Aldi’s...

I also know what it’s like to live without healthcare and going to bed with a pit in my stomach from hunger. Calling mom from across the country, crying... magically having $50 deposited in an Albertson’s card so I could have a decent frozen burrito for dinner...

I have been working since the shutdown as well. I work 2 jobs because before I started to make money at my firm, i shorted my taxes since I didn’t make enough to live and pay my bills...

I owed so much, that it ended up being more than what I made 7 years ago, in 1 year. It was that bad, so now I play catch-up to pay off my taxes. Not only do I pay extra in my taxes, I also pay twice a month, I just finished paying off 2016 at the beginning of this year...

But because I have a second job to help me pay my taxes, I get penalized, I claim Zero... I make really decent money, yet I live in San Diego, living here is really expensive. I try to catch up but it feels like it is all in slow motion....
