      I’ve broken my PC, Phone, and chair and have been trying to save money to get them fixed for the last 4 months and every time I get extra money something sets me back.

      Most recently? Covid. Gotta use saved money to survive while not getting paid. Things are real fuckin neato.

      Somebody’s got all my devices hacked and I don’t have the money to replace them. I’ll implement some basic security shit but I really think they’ve got my shit rooted.

      Unfortunately, this same jackass uses his billions to subtly influence every company I have to route me into shit work and make me fail. For example right now I work retail, and the sequences of customers that show up and waste my time is too non-random to believe. Again and again, the moment one non-buying customer finally relents and let’s me go, the next one shows up within five seconds.

      So I can’t get ahead to get the money to get my devices un-hacked. It sucks.

      A long time ago, before he made the money, I remember we had a debate about whether a billionaire could prevent an ordinary person from succeeding. I argued that they couldn’t, that our society is a free one and that a rich person targeting a poor person couldn’t result in that poor person being unable to succeed.

      Now he’s showing me wrong. And I don’t think he’s going to let up.
