This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you're sick with something that's non-transmissible, then it's on you to decide if you want to go to work or not.

If you're sick with something contagious, then I don't care who you are, you're a horrible excuse for a human being if you go to work.

Sorry but I'm not missing rent, going further into debt, or becoming homeless because I'm sick. My landlord doesn't give a shit if I'm sick and neither does the electric company or my car insurance company. I wanna be a decent person and not get other people sick, but I'm not gonna risk losing everything because I can't work. It's the system that's fucked, not the people. They would love to stay home but they can't.

I hate to be the one to say it, but it is the people. They're not willing to band together to fix the system. They (we) can have+eat our cake, but they just can't fucking agree, for not even a day.
