I am stuck in a loop.
A dangerous and destructive loop that depends on the fickleness of good health and good luck--neither of which I am particularly known for.
It is a corporate built poverty loop.
It sucks and many other Americans are stuck too.

It's an industry that sells the ideas of self-employment, management, and independence. And for some, namely those with capital and access to technology and transport ownership, it's a good buy.

Inspiring stories that were, at their core, anti-establishment and anti-corporate.

They've only found new ways to commit old sins.
