I made a new friend the other day. Gina* was walking in 100-plus degree heat to the library. I found out she and her husband live with her in-laws because they’re both unemployed.

When I dropped her off at the library, her plan was to try to find another retail job because that’s what she’d done previously. But I could tell the prospect didn’t excite her.
