Poverty is the last taboo on social media: you can be anything, but not someone who's struggling People have generally started posting less, especially the educated public in big cities. But millions still post their lives daily on social media and adhere to one main rule: you can't show that you've run out of money & nothing's coming in People talk about illnesses when chemotherapy is over and their test results are good. They talk about grief when the first wave has subsided and they can write a beautiful memorial post. They announce divorces in the language of a corporate press release the decision was made jointly, we are grateful to each other, etc Yet poverty completely overwhelms the mind. Every day turns into a math problem that never adds up The brain recalculates the same amounts over and over again what to pay now, what to postpone what to give up, and where to find a little more money. This constant background noise accompanies millions of people but is almost never present on social media.
