HN mods/leadership appear to have taken the stance that this is a non-political site. Why it's being flagged? People hiding behind the non-political rule are suppressing informatio…

A large part of the USA, for a myriad of reasons, lives paycheck to paycheck.

It sounds like a few software projects I've worked on. Incorrect base assumptions and not swapping out the components that were made unwieldy by those assumptions not reflecting re…
