I'm in semi-rural USA (no car, local trail closed), shut-in, health issues, etc. And it should be obvious I am speaking from my perspective, as not everybody is eating frozen burritos (I assume).

Also some of the despair is lacking viable options to move elsewhere. Both on a local level due to lack of money and on a larger level lacking skills/transportation (or money again) etc.

Sure this is not universal, but I feel pretty locked in where I'm at aside from the next step down of being homeless.
