As I can tell you from past experience, 300-400 dollars a month is not a small amount for someone in their 20s with little to no income. In fact, that's a veritable sea of wealth. If it's a choice between eating and health insurance, which

It's depressing reading this, and realizing how much large corporations have co-opted the entire culture, hurting both individuals and the culture itself. Some of them I don't think are correct, quite, as it's obvious written from a copyrig
