More and more Americans are becoming 'ALICEs.' They can't afford rent and groceries but are falling through the cracks in the country's safety net. (www.businessinsider.com)

They know exactly how little money that is. Poor employees are the fuel for the American economy. We work ourselves to death, desperate for the chance to "earn a living" and too tired to fight for an actual fair wage. If people aren't working too hard, they might get educations, they might find creative outlets, or engage in the civic and political processes. That shit is reserved for the rich, and they like it that way.
