3. What can a desperately poor person do?

Besides be fodder for the rich?

My only plan is to make sure that, when it happens, I will try to take a few of those animals with me. I certainly won't survive such a thing. I have a small car that might not make it to spring. We are living with the prospect of losing this apartment every month. I have nothing that anyone sees as valuable, including myself. I am no one.

What other plan can I have?
