    The corporations in the US have created a situation where people here can’t leave their jobs to protest else they will be fired. If you do not have a job, you do not have health care and most people in america don’t have FU money sitting around to support themselves if they get fired or quit.

      Not to mention many companies are looking for an excuse to cut people. They want to replace us with cheaper labor just out of school or from overseas. Shareholder value above all else.

      Yes it’s going to hurt, but at least we are making the decision. Ignore the symptoms of cancer and it is going to get worse plus you’ll have fewer options for treatment.
